The Back Door

By Abdel Hamid Attia

Description

Fadi Al-Husseini, an architect, is hired by Aziz Al-Qadi to restore an old house — and discovers a small back door drawn in no plan, behind which lies an impossible corridor longer than the whole house. The elderly neighbour Salwa Ramadan tells him of a fire that devoured the house thirty years ago, of a little girl who died in it, and of architects who vanished one after another. And on the night of the fire, the scene replays before his eyes, and the man carrying the little girl in his arms is Fadi himself. When he finds plans for a hidden room bearing his signature and tomorrow's date, he discovers that Aziz Al-Qadi died in the fire thirty years ago, and that the house hires a new architect every generation — and the price is always the architect's life. A complete horror and thriller story in 10 chapters, with a twist ending you will never expect.
