Everything Is a Never-ending Nightmare
A fractured three-chapter novel exploring existential dread and demonic haunting.
Hassanpour structures the narrative around three isolated figures trapped in their own psychological prisons. Each chapter shifts perspective to reveal different facets of a collapsing reality. The first section focuses on intellectual despair, while the second introduces surreal imagery through a hermit’s encounter. The final part grounds the story in physical coldness and mental stagnation. This progression moves from abstract philosophical doubt to concrete sensory deprivation. The author uses these distinct voices to examine how isolation distorts perception. The opium haze serves as a recurring motif that obscures memory and identity. Readers will find a consistent tone of dread rather than sudden shocks. The text prioritizes internal struggle over external action.
The work blends the introspective intensity of Sadegh Hedayat with echoes of Kafka and Camus. It sits within the tradition of dark literary fiction and existential philosophy. The narrative examines the shadowy edges of human consciousness rather than adhering to conventional genre boundaries.
