The Killing Game

About this book

Between this book's covers you read no mere words, but touch the pulse of real souls that crossed life's bridge and left footprints carved in memory. "The Killing Game" is no mere short-story collection; it is a mirror carefully polished to reflect those gray zones of the human psyche, where reality intertwines with imagination, and the possible with the impossible. The tale begins with a pact the writer made with herself; to immortalize a dear name she loved, and to prove that a book has no age because it simply does not die. From this emotional vantage, the journey takes us through rugged human labyrinths; we accompany Dima in her mysterious struggle with an underworld only she sees, where boundaries melt between passion and curse, then move to witness Shadi's stifled scream in sanatorium corridors, battling addiction's demons in a confrontation with a "game" he thought he held its strings, only to have it rob him of everything. The writer skillfully moves between feelings of love and safety, and moments of fear and silently-endured suffering, giving pain.
