My Journey into Darkness

About this book

Have you ever wondered about the dividing line between sanity and madness? And could it be that those we call "mad" are the only ones brave enough to see the naked truth we fear to confront? In the novel "My Journey into Darkness," writer Mohamed El-Hady takes us on a feverish psychological journey, beginning behind the walls of a mental hospital, where Dr. Ali meets the patient Shams; that girl who did not content herself with wounding her body only, but wounded the wall of silence wrapping secrets beyond logic. The tone progresses from the medical mystery surrounding Shams's case, turning into an inspiring journey of searching for the self and salvation, when the doctor finds himself entangled in reading his patient's memoirs. Those memoirs open doors that were never meant to open, where the word "necromance" emerges to shift the story's course from mere psychological diagnosis to a confrontation with hidden powers and shadows haunting the present. The novel is no mere story of illness, but a human mirror reflecting the pains of loss.
