Pratiksha Misra

Pratiksha Misra, is an author, poet, and technology professional with over 20 years in the tech industry. Writing since the age of nine, she blends logic with folklore, bridging two worlds—science and the supernatural—that are often seen as opposites. Born in Rourkela, Odisha, and now based in Media, Pennsylvania, she uses storytelling to explore the depths of human psychology.

Her book Bhoota Gappa is a first-of-its-kind Indian folklore horror epic, unearthing untold supernatural stories from Odisha’s rural and urban landscapes. It challenges the notion that belief in the dark realm is confined to the uneducated—because even the most rational minds sense forces beyond science and technology. The book explores how fear, loss, and grief shape human belief systems, often serving as a coping mechanism for emotions too vast to comprehend.
