Dan Simmons: Song of Kali

I wanted to read Dan Simmons' book Song of Kali (affiliate link) only because one of my cats was named Kali.

In the book an author goes to India to retrieve a manuscript of a poet who has been presumed dead. Easier said than done. Of course, the family has to be dragged along to get some nice plot twists.

The evil Kali has her own, deadly cult. Kali demands, and Kali takes.

A rather racist book, even in my opinion. India is a dirty and disgusting place, the next step from hell.

This book accompanied me on a train ride. I skipped a lot of the text. I don't recommend Song of Kali to anyone.
