“Assam & Darjeeling” is the story of two children who set out to rescue their dead mother from the Underworld — a nightmare place where the mythological desperately tries to keep pace with the world above. The children encounter cell-phone carrying demons, forgotten deities from defunct pantheons waiting tables, and one nasty character called Juniper who takes a particular, personal interest in their quest. A terrific story full of references to mythology, folklore, Dante’s ‘Inferno’, and classic fairy tales, “Assam & Darjeeling” follows in the tradition of writers like Ray Bradbury, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, and Philip Pullman.
