The House of the Plump Woman

About this book

Between the walls of the silence preceding the storm, and in those moments when one thinks life runs smoothly, a single phone call tips the scales and opens doors better left shut. 'The House of the Plump Woman' is not merely a novel of horror or passing mystery but a journey into the depths of the human psyche where love mingles with jealousy, and the desire to belong with the darkness of sorcery. The tale begins with 'Ali,' the young man accustomed to chasing the paranormal, finding himself before the riddle of a mysterious woman in her early thirties wearing a heavy coat in midsummer and carrying in her eyes a terror words cannot explain. In a house on the edge of graveyards, where the water oozes blackness and the cold freezes bones even in August's heat, the bitter truths begin to unfold. Can a place haunt its owners? Or is it the spirits that inhabit bodies to avenge an unfinished past? Dr. May Mokhtar takes us on a literary adventure progressing from cautious mystery to the peak of suspense.
