Chandrima Das
Chandrima Das tells stories that explore the no-man's-land between truth and fear. She inherited her love for horror and the supernatural from her father, who told his children ghost stories before bedtime. Rest assured, they didn't sleep easy.
Her digital debut The Talking Dead (Kindle, Audible) was a bestseller in the horror category. Her next book Young Blood (HarperCollins) will be out October 2021. She is presently working on her debut novel, a supernatural thriller set in North-East India, with the SouthAsia Speaks mentorship program.
After a decade-long career in management consulting that spanned from Wall Street to rural Bihar, Chandrima began writing full-time in 2020. Her web-comics and articles have featured in Quartz, Alliance magazine, Scroll, India Development Review, and Open Democracy. Chandrima has performed at live storytelling events with Tall Tales and Kommune, and was published in THE BEST OF TALL TALES (Rupa, 2018).
Chandrima has a B. Tech in Computer Science from NIT Durgapur and an MBA from IIM Calcutta, where she was awarded the Aditya Birla and OPJEMS scholarships. She was born in Shillong, brought up in Guwahati, and currently lives in Mumbai.
