Horror Aficionados discussion

Hi everyone! 👋

I’d like to share a recent release that truly caught my attention: HUMBABA – A Dark Metaphysical Thriller, published on Amazon on August 14, 2025 👉 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FMKLYZ1P
.

What makes it unique is that Humbaba isn’t just fiction — he’s a real figure from Mesopotamian archaeology, carved on artifacts with a grotesque, intestine-shaped face. His followers believed they could communicate with him through extispicy (the reading of sacrificial entrails).

The story blends psychological horror, dark academia, and theological themes. At its center is a once-celebrated professor whose collapse drives him into the abyss, seeking solace in dark powers.

I usually rate and recommend on Goodreads rather than Amazon (Amazon isn’t a priority for my purchases, and reviews there require specific purchase activity within a certain period 🤷🏽‍♂️).

The narrative pulls you in gradually, with tension building chapter by chapter, and a plot full of mystery, twists, inner conflicts, and metaphysical references. What makes it stand out is that all of this unfolds within historical and mythological frameworks, giving the story a strong sense of authenticity.

It’s not just a book to be read for its plot, but also for the questions it raises. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys metaphysical thrillers with a philosophical core, existential themes, and a mysterious atmosphere.
