What if the past refused to stay buried-and came riding back for you?


In The Phantom Rickshaw, Rudyard Kipling delivers one of the most unsettling ghost stories of the 19th century. Set in colonial India, this tale follows a man who is tormented by the apparition of his former lover after her mysterious death. At first, he believes it's grief-or madness. But as the phantom continues to appear, his sanity begins to unravel, and he must face a horrifying truth: some betrayals cannot be buried.


This modern adaptation brings Kipling's language and atmosphere into sharper clarity for the contemporary reader while preserving the chilling mood and moral weight of the original.

Rudyard Kipling

Rudyard Kipling was born in India in 1865. After intermittently moving between India and England during his early life, he settled in the latter in 1889, published his novel The Light That Failed in 1891 and married Caroline (Carrie) Balestier the following year.

They returned to her home in Brattleboro, Vermont, where Kipling wrote the two Jungle Books and Captains Courageous.

He continued to write prolifically and was the first Englishman to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1907 but his later years were darkened by the death of his son John at the Battle of Loos in 1915. He died in 1936.
