Their encounter fills her with revulsionand dread, yet changes her forever. In present-day Kolkata, college professor Alok Mukherjee meets a man who claims to be a werewolf. Alone and estranged after a divorce, Alok is drawn tothe stranger’s hypnotic allure, unable to tell delusion from truth, trickery from magic. Beginning in Mughal India by the foot of the Taj Mahal and culminating in the lush, dangerous forests of the underbans in twenty-first century India, The Devourers is a story about shape-shifters, hunters with second selves who prey on humans and live in the shadows of civilization. But it is also about what it means to be human, and the transformative powers of love. Utterly gripping and wholly original, it reinvents the literary fantasy novel for India, imbuing it with depth,emotion and richness.
