A genre-bending debut dark fantasy epic inspired by 1001 Arabian Nights set on the India/Pakistan border, from the multi-award winning author of Midnight Doorways. Perfect for fans of Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Scott Hawkins. When a mysterious and deadly plague sweeps through the world, a group of friends retreats to a luxurious countryside mansion at the Pakistani-Indian border, unaware that they’ve locked themselves in with an ancient secret and primordial power that will slowly tear them apart. As each member of the group fractures under the strain of the haveli's maddening spell, they must decide whether to face the truth of their own demons or be lost within in the glittering labyrinth forever. In his lush, epic debut novel, award-winning writer Usman T. Malik invites readers to explore the rich, spellbinding tapestry that is Middle Eastern folklore. A DARK AND NARROW HOUSE is a terrifying exploration of memory, trauma, and the power of stories to save or destroy us.
