You probably shouldn’t read this.
It’s an oppressive thriller — sharp, and visceral, with a dash of sci-fi.
New chapters every week.
And you'll be hooked.
So hooked, waiting a week will be unbearable.
So take my advice — don’t read it.

History of Horror: Mesopotamia
Before horror lurked in foggy forests or suburban basements, it prowled the sun-scorched lands of Mesopotamia — modern-day Iraq, Syria, and Turkey.
