A collection of twelve short stories, "12: Tales I Left Behind," explores the raw edges of contemporary life, i.e., brutal, hopeful, restless, and full of possibility.
Through stories of love, rivalry, family, and the uncanny, it reveals a truth we often forget: beneath the surface, we are still wild creatures shaped by instinct, memory, and the quiet pull of nature's karmic cycles.
In this book, author Parth Dubey strips society to its bones and presents stories that are brutal, restless, and quietly hopeful.
There's love, there's pain, there's death, there's life, and then... there's taboo and shadows, heads and tails, sense and nonsense, and back and forth... a tussle to survive.
