“Tara has written some (in)famous romances featuring monsters. Now one is hunting her” is the premise of Wolfish, a horror novel by Kritika Kapoor—not a report of real killings. The excerpt published by Scroll.in follows Tara, a romance writer whose fictional monsters begin to echo a frightening mystery in the story.
What is the story about?
Tara Tandon writes dark romances populated by figures such as the Bewitching Rake and the Wandering Wolf. In the Scroll.in excerpt, she is at home in Vasant Kunj, struggling to write as readers online connect her books to reports of women killed in Goa and a supposed wolf-like creature. Tara begins investigating, while dreams of the beast make the threat feel increasingly personal.

Those events belong to the fiction. The publisher’s synopsis expands the premise: Tara travels to Goa after brutal killings, investigating with Sunny, a suspended police officer. The novel’s plot also involves spiritual cults, occult rituals and a mysterious stranger.
What kind of book is Wolfish?
Wolfish brings supernatural horror together with dark fantasy romance, mystery and an investigative thread. Its central tension comes from the overlap between Tara’s monster-filled writing and the creature she encounters in the novel’s unfolding mystery. The excerpt includes graphic, sexualized violence, so readers should expect disturbing horror content as well as romantic elements.
