Lai Khutshangbi: The Long-Armed Terror (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798272634924)

FROM THE HEARTH OF MANIPUR COMES A TALE OF PRIMAL TERROR AND UNBREAKABLE COURAGE.

Deep in the shadowy jungles of ancient Manipur lurks Lai Khutshangbi, a monster of legend. Her arms are impossibly long, dragging through the dirt as she moves. Her fingers are sharpened thorns, and her hunger for human children is insatiable.

Shashipa, a man of renowned bravery, has always been a shield for his family. But when a long journey forces him to leave his wife, Shashima, and their young son, Shashi, alone in their isolated home, that shield is broken. As night falls, the dreaded scraping sound begins outside their door, and a horrific face appears in the darkness, asking one terrible question over and over...

Trapped and terrified, Shashima must use all her cunning to protect her son, weaving a web of lies to keep the monster at bay. But how long can her deception last? And when the final confrontation comes, will their courage be enough to survive the Long-Armed Terror?
