Dreamland  (English, Paperback, Shamit Bagchi)

Freud saw dreams as repressed wishes—but can they open portals to stranger realms? Step quietly through the threshold of DREAMLAND, where twisted tales unfold like whispered memories—half-remembered, half-invented, entirely mesmerizing. Fun fact: Most of these short stories began as the author’s dreams. Here’s a glimpse of some of the stories that the reader would experience: Between Destinations: A spontaneous ride on a sleek new train derails a young man’s plans—and leads him into a fateful, unforgettable connection. The Embrace of Dakini: A lost Tantric scholar meets a mysterious woman at a cremation ground, only to discover she’s a divine force who unravels his soul through sacred illusion. Banku Babu and Nripen Sanyal: A hesitant writer in old Kolkata conjures a detective from ink and dreams, only to find his creation pulling him deeper into mystery and obsession. Traumland: The Genome of Power: In a genome-obsessed future, a defiant chancellor and a rogue consciousness battle over what it means to be human. Prepare to be unmoored, enchanted, and maybe just a little bit undone.
