The Stone Statue

By Abdel Hamid Attia

Description

Yasser Al-Otaibi, a thirty-four-year-old archaeologist, discovers in the desert a huge stone statue whose face looks exactly like his own — down to the small scar above his left eyebrow. The inscriptions on the statue's back are a list of names, every name a man who gave his face to the stone, and the last name on the list is Yasser's own name, dated today. With the disappearance of the site guard Ezzat Al-Najjar, and the warning of his colleague Karima Al-Saadi, Yasser understands that the statue does not kill — it exchanges: it gives you a body of flesh and blood, and takes from you a body of stone. A complete horror and thriller story in 10 chapters, with a twist ending you will never expect.
