The Blaft Book of Mizo Myths, our first release in 2 years, is (finally!) available in print in the USA, from Small Press Distribution and Amazon.com, in India from our site (Blaft.com), and as an ebook worldwide.
This was a really fun book to be involved with. Mizoram is a super interesting place... a tiny Indian state nestled in the hills on the Myanmar border; remote and beautiful; culturally unique; a success story in terms of education and human development, but somewhat difficult for outsiders to get to know about.
The author, Cherrie Lalnunziri Chhangte, is a rockstar academic from Mizoram University & Stanford who has a Ph.D. in African-American literature and has written on the parallels between Native American folklore and Northeastern Indian hill tribe mythology.
