For he seemed to me again like a king, Like a king in exile, uncrowned in the underworld, Now due to be crowned again... Lines from D.H. Lawrence's Snake printed on a scroll... Victims left in a bewildering state after savage attacks... Names from Hindu mythology appearing at every crime scene... Red rainbows arching ominously across the Mumbai sky... Even as author Om Patnaik and cop Parag Suri struggle to decode the paranormal puzzle that is terrifying the city, a seven-year-old autistic girl from Manipur challenges the very core of their beliefs. Why do her drawings symbolise the country's matinee idol, Ashwin Tomar? What dark secrets lie hidden in the heart of Tomar's secretary, Yeva? And what horror has taken birth in the mind of an ancient cursed being that could forever annihilate mankind? Eerie and exciting, Venom dares you to enter a realm that will test your faith like never before!
