The Last Days of Kali Yuga

These are the last days … Travel the blood-stained trails of Kathmandu. Explore doorways to other worlds. Fight for humanity’s darkening soul. … when the powers of the Gods wane and evil walks the Earth. The Last Days of Kali Yuga is urban fantasy at its darkest. You won’t find traditional vampires or werewolves in Paul Haines’s stories. Instead, you will stare deep into the heart of the cruelest monster of all: man. Paul Haines is one of Australia’s and New Zealand’s leading dark fiction authors. He pioneered the ‘backpacker horror’ sub-genre with stories of Westerners confronted by dark powers and corrupted souls in the developing world. His novellas “The Last Days of Kali Yuga”, “Doorways for the Dispossessed”, and “Wives” – all of which appear in this book – have won Australia’s and New Zealand’s highest honours for speculative fiction. The Last Days of Kali Yuga is the definitive collection of Paul Haines’s best work.
