Gandy Dancer reviews The Common, noting that “underneath the contemporary feel of the journal is a charming thread of worldly tradition.”

Paramaditha does not abstain from widely acknowledged gothic tropes entirely...and yet, Night of a Thousand Hells contains mainly the horror of reality. We are told from the beginning that it's the story of three sisters and that the youngest sister Annisa, “the beautiful one,” has committed an act of terrorism.
The writing here is lyric and effortless, an evocative rendering of both place and character. It is in moments like this that Mysore so excels as a writer and makes this collection a necessary read for anyone interested in reading about diverse places and characters (which, in my opinion, should be everyone).
