Redtooth: A Himalayan Horror Story

About this book

‘Call me Redtooth. Call me hunger.’

A group of inexperienced trekkers make their way to the storied Goecha La in early winter. A family of four, attempting their first holiday after lockdown. A newly single yoga instructor, determined to prove she can live and travel solo. An older one-time mountaineer, hoping to reconnect with the mountains. A young man drawn to the challenge of a difficult trek. All accompanied by the trek leader, Manish, who is struggling with a troubled past of his own.

As they climb the foothills of the Khangchendzonga, the barriers between the physical and spirit world begin to dissolve. Here, the ancient rules of conduct still apply. As the air thins, so does their grip on reality. Secrets come to light and the tensions between them thicken. When the weather turns for the worse, they seek refuge in a mountain hut.
