The Phantom Rickshaw

What if the past refused to stay buried-and came riding back for you?

In The Phantom Rickshaw, Rudyard Kipling delivers one of the most unsettling ghost stories of the 19th century. Set in colonial India, this tale follows a man who is tormented by the apparition of his former lover after her mysterious death. At first, he believes it's grief-or madness. But as the phantom continues to appear, his sanity begins to unravel, and he must face a horrifying truth: some betrayals cannot be buried.

This modern adaptation brings Kipling's language and atmosphere into sharper clarity for the contemporary reader while preserving the chilling mood and moral weight of the original.
