Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bored wife begins a torrid affair with another man—only to discover, in the process, that her husband isn’t quite as dull as she’d imagined. A woman is approached by an old classmate to help cover up a crime. An old and eerie legend connected to the seaside town of Tharangambadi, ‘Tranquebar’, is invoked in the present day. A quiet civil servant who is a closet James Bond fan comes to the rescue of a colleague being harassed. Revenge is sought, wrongs are righted, comeuppances dealt out in this collection of black humour short stories. These stories are a mix of the macabre and the humorous; some stories more dark than funny, some more quirkily and quietly humorous than unsettling. All have a twist in the tale that adds a final, memorable touch to each story. Originally published by Westland in 2012, My Lawfully Wedded Husband and Other Stories is now re-released in an e-book only format, with two brand new stories added to the initial collection.
