About the Author
Mumbai After Midnight was written in 2016, when Atharva Inamdar was 19 and developing what would become The Vomit Method — marathon writing sessions of 20 hours a day, 15 days straight, to finish a book. The noir & hardboiled work from this period reflects a writer pushing hard to find his voice. Noir fiction — cynical, atmospheric, morally ambiguous — provides a natural home for stories drawn from the darker chapters of a publishing career.
