async.parallel: Type Error, task is not a function

What is wrong with this code ?

async = require("async");
fs = require("fs")

async.parallel(['calc.js','index.js'], fs.stat, function (err, results) {  
if (err){
console.log(err);
}
else{
    console.log(results);
}
});

When I try to run this little peice of code, I get the error mentioned below -

/home/gaurav/node-exp/node_modules/async/dist/async.js:4819
        task(rest(function (err, args) {
        ^

TypeError: task is not a function

I was following a nodejs tutorial and I am very new to node js so pardon me if the question is very naive

What you are trying to do is map the file names onto fs.stat. You missed the call to map function in your code.

async.map([file1, file2], fs.stat, function () {...
