HUMBABA: A Dark Metaphysical Thriller
About
An ancient entity. A forbidden ritual. A professor lost to darkness.
In a world where secular reason collides with faith, Dr. Alexander Sterling encounters a force older than humanity itself: Humbaba.
Once a renowned professor of archaeology, Sterling sees his life falling apart. Estranged from his family and rejected by the academic establishment, he spirals into despair. When scholarly inquiry fails him, he turns to the forbidden: the worship of Humbaba — a Mesopotamian entity who, according to myth and confirmed by archaeological findings, was depicted with a grotesque, intestinal face and was believed to communicate with the human world through extispicy — the reading of sacrificial entrails.
As Sterling performs rituals rooted in ancient necromantic tradition, he opens a gateway to knowledge, power — and terror. The boundary between reality and hallucination dissolves. Logic collapses. Faith distorts. And Humbaba begins to whisper.
This is a captivating metaphysical drama that masterfully weaves together archaeology, mythology, worldview, and the supernatural. Through Alexander Sterling’s story, the reader is invited to explore not only the most hidden depths of the human soul, but also the protagonist’s existential quest for salvation, redemption, and the truth that emerges from the shadows.
HUMBABA has been honored with a ★★★★★ review by the international organization Readers’ Favorite, recognizing its thrilling narrative, philosophical depth, and haunting originality.
