The amazing

Where does "fear" begin and where does it end? Does a scarecrow stand in the field terrifying others and driving them away with the power of illusion? Or does it stand within our hidden selves, defining our behavior and guiding our destinies? And what is the fate of the victim of "fear"? Does he live his life in a prison of illusions? Or does he wake up one day from his slumber to become a scarecrow that spreads terror in souls and delights in the dominance of imagination? Zahran Al-Qasimi leads us in his new novel to the land of fear, that is, to the darkest areas within the human soul, so we follow the story of the scarecrow with its hero "Mahjan" while we think he is the central character in the novel, until we go far enough and find that the hero is none other than fear itself. There is no childhood but his childhood, no youth but his youth, so when he grows up and matures, he becomes a scarecrow in the field, you see, but deep down, he cannot see. As for "Mahjan," he is none other than you, reader, so know your scarecrow, for when you know it, you break it, and when you break it, you are liberated.
