  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2023
  • Writing of his experiences from "those romantic days in India- twenty years previous to the Great War", George Hogan Knowles weaves a narrative in this story that contains a strange hunt for a "man-eating panther", skillfully infused with elements of macabre and gothic horror.
    Knowles' words transport the reader (and the listener) to the scene of action right into the heart of the thick jungles of Chhota Nagpur (that is now absorbed among the states of Jharkhand, Chhatisgarh, and Odisha) in the late 19th century India.

    I like the fantastical idea of a panther wearing a wolf's camouflage and howling like one to attract its prey. Something a little different. Like from a graphic novel. Very interesting. Thank you brother!

    • @selvalore
      @selvalore  ปีที่แล้ว

      It said in a different chapter of the book from where this story is taken, that these took place 20 years before the start of the Great War or WW1. So that places it sometime in the 1890's. Around the same time when the Jungle Books were written by Kipling and when Jim Corbett was still a youth.

      Haha, Harshat I hope you didn't think that I made that first howl myself. It was a wolf's howl alright, but to make it sound more "guttural" (as stated in the plot), I used an effect to make it heavier. It turned out weird, and almost sounds like an elk now as some commenters suggested :)
