Song Of Kali by Dan Simmons
The book is a chilling tale of horror set in the labyrinthine streets of Calcutta, where an American poet journeys with his wife and infant daughter in search of a legendary poet who has reemerged with new work after years of presumed death. The city's oppressive heat and mystique envelop the family as they become entangled in a nightmarish plot involving a cult dedicated to the goddess Kali, whose followers may have sinister intentions for them. As the protagonist delves deeper into the city's dark underbelly, he is confronted with the true face of evil and must fight to save his loved ones from the clutches of a terrifying power.
