Saad Al-Dabbas novel

“The past never dies… even if we bury it or remain silent about it and stop recalling it, no one forgets… You can forget, but you will never truly forget. Especially those memories etched in our consciences and carved on the sides of our minds with the brush of pain and the chisel of injustice.”

In Saad Al-Dabbas’s novel, the story revolves around five siblings: Fahad, Abdulrahman, Bandar, Sarah, and Aisha. Abdulrahman receives an unexpected call from the municipality, notifying him of the urgent need to evacuate their old family home quickly due to plans to demolish it. The siblings begin gathering their belongings quickly and agree to spend one last session in the house on Friday.

As the story progresses, Bandar and Fahad discover an old photograph hidden in their mother’s room, depicting the family with an unexpected guest. This picture piques their curiosity and prompts them to explore more about the identity of the unknown person in the photo. From there, a series of terrifying and mysterious events unfold in the abandoned house, leading the siblings to face significant challenges in uncovering the truth behind the picture and the strange events occurring in the house.
