The Path That Never Was

About this book

Between the truth of what we see, and the shadows of what we fear, extends the journey of "The Path That Never Was." Have you ever wondered about those thin lines separating reality from legend? Between the silent scream in closed rooms, and the whisper echoing behind old houses' windows? Hassan Saad takes us on a literary adventure no mere narration of tales, but a dive into the human psyche's depths facing the unknown. The tale begins with a police officer finding himself before a puzzle transcending logic, where death snatches the young in their prime at two past midnight, and where folk legends about "jinn" and "offerings" become the only explanation for hearts devoured by fear. But is the enemy truly from another world? Or is the real "devil" wearing a human face resembling us, eating with us at one table, and hiding in our daily life details? From rural villages' alleys full of secrets, to conscience-and-duty struggles, the book moves us between multiple "lives"; at times we see through a child's eyes shattered by.
