Shiv Ramdas is an Indian writer of postcolonial speculative fiction- from science fiction and fantasy to horror and comedy and everything in between. Prior to turning fiction writer, he was a radio host who also spent several years writing advertising campaigns, jingles, radio productions, plays, songs, and numerous resignation letters. His work has previously appeared in Fireside and Giganotosaurus Magazine. His short story, “And Now His Lordship Is Laughing,” is forthcoming later this year in Strange Horizons. He currently lives in Seattle, USA, with his spouse and three cats.
