“…reminiscent of the works of Klein, Brite and even good ol’Lovecraft in narrative.” –Shock Totem

“Painted Monsters & OtherBackwaters Kerala

Kerala backwaters, made up of inter-connected lakes, canals, streams and a good number of rivers, are one of the most prominent attractions in God's own country, a paradise-like land for the tourists. Kerala backwaters, sprawling over 900 km long, offer a matchless scenic beauty.

Houseboats probably is the best means to enjoy the cherishing beauty of backwaters in Kerala. Boating is not only one of the major entertainment events but it is also a better option to watch out some of the most awesome scenes like the coconut palms standing in line on the river-sides, glittering red-sun kissing on the other end of the water, fisherman casting nets for a catch, and so on.
