The Iron Below Remembers
Set in an alternate version of the British Isles where South Asian imperial interest colonized much of the globe thanks to their advanced technology, Professor Laxman Yadav is dating Saviour, one of the world’s most famous superheroes, while also investigating possibly the most important archeological find of all time.
Equal parts pulp caper and meta-textual academic text, this novella leans as heavily on footnotes as it does on explorations of queer romance.
"A delightful mashup between the superhero, romance, and epistolary fiction genres. Sharang Biswas achieves the impossible and makes footnotes jump—like a comic book hero—off the page! Readers will be cheering for Saviour and Laxman's love through its ups and downs, the super and mundane, and be left thirsting for more long after the story ends."
