Author Spotlight: Shweta Narayan

Shweta Narayan

Shweta Narayan

The amazing Shweta Narayan reads from her story “The Mechanical Aviary of Emperor Jalal-ud-din Muhammad Akbar” in The Clockwork Jungle Book (Issue #11). Like Shweta’s other work, it’s a luminous and graceful tale of an amazing culture, full of heart.

We’ve just learned that this story will be reprinted in Ann and Jeff VanderMeer’s Steampunk Reloaded: Volume 2, coming out this fall. Congrats, Shweta!
