To Survive, You Must Offer the Sacrifice

About this book

Have you ever felt the walls around you are not content with silence, but listen to your breaths? In the darkness of old cities, where clock hands stop spinning and dark corners begin narrating their tales, a kind of terror is born that cannot be covered by daylight. This novel is no mere arrayed words, but an invitation to cross to the other side of fear, to that gray zone inhabited by Yousef and his four companions, where nightmares intermingle with reality, and the old Helwan morgue becomes more than an abandoned building; it is an entity breathing, waiting, and demanding its ancient right. In a literary style touching our deep human obsessions, the story takes you on a journey beginning with the creak of a rusty door in a recurring dream, and ending with an inevitable confrontation with buried secrets under the weight of curses. It is a tale for those who faced their mirrors at night and saw in them faces not theirs, and for those who realized courage lies not in denying fear, but in the ability to walk alone in a dark tunnel without turning.
