“Malath” is a psychological crime novel about a psychiatrist who creates a secret club where he meets three girls and listens to their deep, strange stories. The book mixes mystery and suspense, and the club becomes a place where hidden truths and personal secrets come out.
The author became well‑known for the “Rare Cases” series, which consists of stories about cases Dr. Khaled encounters; each one is an independent series not connected to the others.
The narrator’s journey unfolds across the three books as a single continuous path into his inner world and the strange events that begin shaping his life. In the first book, small unusual experiences open hidden windows onto a reality he never expected. The second book pushes these experiences further, revealing deeper and even stranger layers, until he realizes that nothing happening to him is random and that every incident uncovers a new dimension of this mysterious world. In the third book, he returns to his teenage memories, sharing the unusual moments that formed him, showing how every ending in his life becomes the beginning of another journey into the unknown.
Across both books, the author aims to reach a wide range of readers through a collection of short stories. In the first book, the 17 stories vary in strength—some are engaging with clever twists, while others feel less impactful, which occasionally dilutes the book’s overall focus. In the second book, Abdulwahab presents 18 diverse stories that continue this approach; several stand out for their unexpected endings, while others leave a lighter impression. Still, the book remains entertaining and easy to read from beginning to end.
