An SF Gateway eBook: bringing the classics to the future.
Uma, a beautiful but frightened dancing girl, sells a strange bronze statuette of Nataraja, the dancing Siva, to Dr Chris Anderson, while he was visiting a bazaar in Pollachi, Southern India. He travels back to Kerala and puts the statuette on the bedside cabinet in his hotel room. His sleep is tortured by fantastic nightmares in which he seems hosts of ancient Indian gods and demons, in all their splendour and horror.
He wakes in terror to hear a faint voice whispering in the darkness. The bronze statuette is glowing with unearthly light and there is a smell if incense.
Can a human soul be imprisoned in bronze by the power of weird, unearthly dark magic?
Can Dr Chris Anderson release the psychic prisoner? Who is Uma, the mysterious dancing girl?
