very familiar to the readers. The stories in this volume — there are 44

Fantasy novel
Wednesday, 03.03.2010, 10:16am
CATEGORISED AS a
‘magical fantasy' that touches the realms of witchcraft and black
magic, the novel in Malayalam, Kalika, was first serialised in a weekly
33 years ago and its movie version by Balachandra Menon hit the screen
in 1980. In Kerala, Kalika is considered to be the typical example of a
‘fantasy novel,' although the term itself is yet to be precisely
defined.
