Whirlpool of Evil

About this book

Imagination is born from the rubble of truth, and a story is nothing but a small window we look through at the shadows we fear in our depths. But what if those shadows were us? And what if curiosity, born with us, were the first thread in the whirlpool of evil over which we have no say? Youssef wanted nothing but excitement, so he went searching for a village said to be inhabited by evil spirits, thinking the familiar world no longer sufficed for his passion. Adam the photographer asked only for moments of deviation to capture through his lens, and ended a prisoner of a silent scream inside a dark room, between life and death. And Marwan, who found himself pushed into a strange world where "shadows" attacked him with a ferocity knowing no mercy, did not realize that salvation was not victory but a personal sacrifice — the price of closing the cursed gate. In this short-story collection you will find that the journey into the unknown is not merely a step on a road but a gradual descent to the point of no return. You will watch humans stripped of their fortresses, trying to escape the idea that they are not victims of an external evil but the source of it. Five tales of horror and suspense probing the ancient question: does evil reside in places, in things, or in the whirlpool each of us carries within?
