Praying Behind Satan

About this book

In Upper Egypt's far south, where the Nile still keeps its virgin secrets behind palm silence, stands "Qastal" village as a quiet oasis, but hiding in its belly a history no one dared record. There, behind the closed doors of the mental hospital, and on the fourth floor whose walls were wrapped in silence, wires, and curses, begins the tale that will change all you know about reality. Between a young doctor trying to escape Cairo memories to find himself before a "forbidden history," and ancient Sumerian symbols carved to deter a devil undeterred, tangle the threads of "Praying Behind Satan." It is no mere novel about possession or magic, but a terrifying human journey into the human psyche's depths and its eternal struggle with hidden beings dwelling history's dark corners. Do you dare cross the wall built to be forgotten? Do you have the courage to realize that some places are not abandoned in vain, and that some rites we thought extinct are still performed in secret? Immerse yourself in Manar El-Safti's world.
