Antaram: A Psychological Literary Fantasy Novel

The passage through Antaram isn't for everyone-it's for the mad only.

For Arjun Joshi, a single father and struggling writer, losing another job feels like the last straw and his very last failure. But when a vodka-fueled blackout lands him in Antaram-a vanishing world teeming with shadowy beings, witches, wizards, and monstrous beasts-he discovers he's the only one who can stop its destruction.

If Antaram disappears, so does Arjun-erased from existence, leaving his infant son to grow up without him. To save both worlds, he must join forces with Sophia, a guarded woman with demons of her own, and Janver, a frail but headstrong monkey-child. Together, they embark down the Forbidden Road where surreal dangers await them at every turn.

With every step deeper into Antaram's absurd reality, Arjun is forced to question everything he thought he knew-about the world, his past, and himself. What he learns could be the key to rewriting his fate.

Or it could destroy him.

Enter at your own risk.

A masterful blend of psychology, philosophy, and fantasy, Antaram is an original and stunningly imaginative work of contemporary literature that captures the darker aspects of ADHD like no other novel before it-and it does so through a uniquely spirited voice that traverses, and then deftly erases, the line between the abstract and the rational, the metaphysical and the real. With a touch of humor and a tablespoon of pathos, it grapples with issues of mental health, morality, identity, self-discovery and self-love, ultimately offering readers a path towards meaning in a life that often feels like it has none.
