What is the author's style in Gods, Demons, and Others by R. K. Narayan?

Gods, Demons and Others was written by R.K. Narayan, who recorded these stories, preserved mainly in the oral tradition, as spoken by The Story Teller. The Story Teller is a figurehead of the rural Indian community, who would act as a public servant and even a priest in some situations. Every rural village within the culture would have a storyteller.

These stories are the well known stories of Hindu mythology as transferred orally from generation to generation by the story teller to the general populous, and translated for the English market by R.K. Narayan. Therefore, the tone is narrative, with an adherence to the moral undertones of each tale.
