യക്ഷിക്കഥകൾ (Yakshikkathakal) is a 5-story Malayalam illustrated anthology retelling Kerala's yakshi legends from the public-domain Aithihyamala, for children ages 8-13 who understand spoken Malayalam but aren't yet confident reading it on their own.
Every story shares one frame: a child visiting their tharavadu (ancestral home) during a school holiday, warned off a specific place by an elder — a well, a banyan tree, a jackfruit tree, a riverside platform. What follows is eerie and atmospheric, never graphic: the genre's real appeal (moonlit dread, a startling reveal) kept intact, with the threat always outwitted or understood rather than defeated by force.
Each of the 5 stories closes on one clearly named value — compassion, empathy, gratitude, remembrance, courage — so the anthology reads as one connected world, not five unrelated tales. Real Kerala texture runs through every story: Onam, the Karthika festival, a family wedding, monsoon at the riverside village, joint-family life with grandparents at the center.
Delivered as a 37-page PDF that reflows cleanly on tablets and phones, illustrated throughout with a painterly, consistent visual style across the cover, title vignettes, and mid-story images.
