Al-Ahsa secrets of the souls

The collection includes 18 short stories belonging to fantasy literature and magical realism, and it blends myth and reality in narration that reveals the hidden worlds in the nature of place and human. The stories delve into the atmospheres of the geographic and spiritual heritage of Al-Ahsa, where its most prominent historical and heritage landmarks – such as Lake Al-Asfar, Al-Mahiras Palace, Al-Aqeer, Al-Qaysariya, Al-Amiriyah School, Al-Jawharia Spring, the National Park, and Jabal Al-Qara – become vibrant narrative spaces, where collective memory moves and evokes tales from the past. The land is not just dirt, it is memory, and we fear memory, Silsil did not dry out alone, but souls also dried out, the river did not disappear, it swallowed them and what they carry since a long time ago… Abdullah Al-Nasr
