Petosiris and the Living Plague of Osirion is a descent into ancient horror where language itself becomes the infection. In the ruins beneath the forgotten tomb-city of Osirion, an archaeological dig awakens something older than gods and deadlier than death-a scribe-god whose body was sealed in scrolls and whose breath rewrites the living.
When linguist Asim Harun begins dreaming in spirals and speaking forgotten names, his team believes it's just tomb-sickness. But the glyphs aren't just ancient-they're alive. The tomb is not a burial site, but a prison. And its prisoner-Petosiris, the Scribe-King of the Hollow Word-has been waiting for someone to open the final line of his eternal sentence.
As madness blooms and the desert collapses into ink-soaked flesh, the survivors must unravel the plague's language before it rewrites the world. But the plague knows their names. And it remembers every word ever spoken.
A haunting blend of cosmic horror, ancient mythology, and psychological decay, this is the story of the god that wouldn't die, the priest who fed the flame, and the ink that refused to dry.
Some books are read. This one reads you.
Perfect for fans of The Mummy, Annihilation, and House of Leaves.
