Mastho Vamsee writes supernatural, paranormal, occult, thriller, horror and suspense novels and stories with a touch of comedy. He's inspired by Sherlock Holmes and Robert Ludlum kind of stuff, but specialises in paranormal and supernatural subjects. That's perhaps due to years of his practical work and research in these fields. Romance too forms part of his work, perhaps owing to his Leonine nature.

He has got two MBA degrees but left a corporate career to do things he loves to do. A meditator on the ‘path’ since childhood, Mastho is an Osho Sanyasin. He observes that he had always been a misfit with people and things around.

 

He is an enthusiast of all that is beyond 5 senses and belongs to the highest lineage of Gurus of India, the Datta Parampara.

He confesses that he is terrible at spellings, has a very bad memory, exhibits a horrible temper thrice a year, is a habitual prankster and had failed more than he had succeeded in life. Failure, he says, teaches better… so he claims that he is perhaps better than the super successful :)

 

This Leo by Sun Sign, Mastho is an actor, ace radio presenter, a busy voice artist, an adored entertainer, a director of television series, music composer, Reiki healer, Tarot card reader, a certified hypnotist, a theatre artist and a YouTuber.

 

But according to him, what he is super good at (when he is not frozen in the head) is, writing kickass stories. Says, he can’t help it :)

 

Mastho Vamsee is a regular practitioner of Sri Vidya, Mantra Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Kriya Yoga and Meditations. He specialises in Neo Kirtans and had composed and rendered tons of Neo Kirtans that have been released as albums.

 

He has scores of stories to his credit, over 2000 voice projects, several films, television and YouTube fiction appearances and music albums… He holds MBA degrees from India and the United Kingdom. He left a sleepy corporate career to take a leap into the colorful arena of media, in 2004. Talk to him about short stories, film making, astrology and the occult; and you would probably get to listen to some incredible facts and experiences in animated expressions.

 

His latest work includes Behind That Closed Door - 6 Kickass Thriller Stories and the novel The Spookaholic: Kanchi.
