Sidhant Khanna

Sidhant Khanna is an independent author and narrative world builder based in Mumbai. Obsessed with character psychology under extreme duress, he writes gritty biopunk horror - stories where the science is plausible, the monsters are man-made, and the scariest thing in the room is usually an adult.

His debut novel, Code 103 Redacted: Patient Zer0, is set in a Mumbai school where a bioengineered virus turns a classroom into something that thinks as one. It began with a simple question: what happens to a child everyone decides not to listen to?

When not drowning in his laptop somewhere between a plot twist and a plot hole, he can be found gaming, gardening, and gossiping. He is currently at work on his next novel.
