Coles The Skin Suit at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

In the choking, narrow lanes of Old Delhi's Gali Qasim Jan, where history and filth exist side by side, there sits a quiet shop sandwiched between the chaos of the market. This is the domain of Altaf, known to the locals as Masterji, a tailor who promises a fit like no other. To the vain and ambitious Aryan, a young man desperate for a look that screams "expensive and dangerous" for his upcoming auditions, Nizaam Tailors seems like the answer to his prayers. However, Aryan soon discovers that Masterji's definition of bespoke craftsmanship does not involve Italian wool or imported silk, but rather a material that is far more organic and terrifyingly personal. The Skin Suit descends into a visceral nightmare where the price of perfection is paid in flesh and blood. Altaf is not merely a killer but an "Editor" who believes he is correcting God's mistakes by harvesting the beautiful skin of those he deems unworthy and stitching them into garments of gruesome elegance. As Aryan becomes a living mannequin in a soundproofed basement, trapped alongside other skinless victims who are kept alive to maintain the "lustre" of the fabric, the story explores the darkest depths of vanity and identity. From the claustrophobic terror of the tailor's workshop to the rain-slicked streets where a mob seeks justice against a monster wearing a policeman's face, this novella weaves a tale of urban horror that leaves a permanent scar on the city's history.
