Scorpion Soup is a limited edition collection of stories by the travel writer and novelist Tahir Shah.
The book was released on June 8, 2013 by Secretum Mundi Publishing.
Inspired by the Arabian Nights, Shah experiments with interwoven layers, allowing one tale to flow into the next in a technique known as the Frame story.
The book has been inspired and is an homage to his grandfather, Ikbal Ali Shah.
Scorpion Soup is illustrated with fold out maps from the Atlas Maior by the great seventeenth century Dutch cartographer Joan Blaeu.
