Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyse two works of fiction belonging to authors promoted by an Indian publishing house, Pepperscript. The anthology of short stories Unmasked, published in 2016, and the novel The November Note, published in 2013, are examples of the return to the fairy-tale tradition (Vianu 2007: 143). This means that they contain all the elements of a traditional story: mystery, excitement, twists of plot, the unexpected, and lots of action.
