Journey Through Ancient Worlds
Egyptians describe foreigners who have become hopelessly addicted to the country and culture of Egypt as having ‘drunk from the Nile’. All you need to know about the writer is that, long ago, he drank from the Nile. Actually, he swam in it, and a part of him likely drowned in it too—a fragment lost to the river’s eternal current. Egypt has become, in the sort of terms the great Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges would have noted, a labyrinth this writer (and Borges fanboy) cannot escape, nor does he wish to.
A True Masterpiece, Bravo!
These tales jab at the gut like a prizefighter’s fist—Borges-like, yet feral. Each story’s a brutal dance of power and mystery, daring you to flinch.

A Unique View On The World
Stark, unsettling visions. A secret order in Cairo, veiled beyond proof; a paintingsparking savage ruin; a possible contagion erasing men bit by bit. Haunting parables for a world teetering on oblivion.
George Orwell (all fantasies are equal but some are more equal)
