They do translations of notable works, publish comics, and books featuring lore from the regions in and surrounding what is modern day India. From the Tibetan speaking Northeastern to the Tamil influenced South, and all parts in between and beyond, Blaft features folklore with an amazing variety of traditions, languages and religions. Don't let Bollywood fool you. We discuss these items as well as reviewing some of the more famous regional monsters and cryptids.
