Industry Reviews "This book is not for the weak of stomach, or of heart, but it is an enlightening look at Calcutta--as the city itself is woven into the story. With his debut novel, Dan Simmons far surpasses what is usually looked on as horror, but does it in such a way that you don't realize what you're being led through until the ending slams you all at once."
