A young man, down on his luck and working a dead end job, finds out from a passing acquaintance at a party about an LA apartment building with outrageously low rent and great views. After looking into
it he agrees to rent an apartment in the very old brick building known as the KAVACH. As the main character Nate begins his stay at the KAVACH he meets other residents of the building and soon he and they begin to trade notes on the building's many mysterious peculiarities (padlocked doors, other apartments with strange dimensions, cold spots, electrical anomalies, etc.). Nate and his cadre of other residents start to explore the building's mysteries, ignoring eviction threats for continuing to go down this path leveled by the building's manager. However, as they begin unlocking the building's secrets they are ill prepared for the "Pandora's Box" they are about to open. I found this story to be well-written and fast paced. It falls into the Sci-Fi/Horror genre and is a satisfying modern day Lovecraftian tale.
