SIT WITH YOUR DEMONS
They said Raya and Sakina were history. Alexandria knows better.
In Sit with Your Demons, acclaimed dark fiction author S.B. Darkmoor delivers a haunting, modern psychological thriller that strips away a century of urban legend to expose a terrifying contemporary truth. For generations, the names Raya and Sakina have been used to frighten the living. But beneath the sensationalized folklore lies a devastating legacy of stolen lives, silenced screams, and forgotten female bloodlines.
Now, the echoes of Alexandria’s past are waking up.
This isn't just a retelling of Egypt's most infamous true-crime story, it is a radical, victim-centered perspective that honors the women whose stories were buried beneath the floorboards. When a modern-day fracture breaks the boundary between reality and the unseen, a deep-seated trauma is unleashed. To survive the suffocating psychological horror creeping through the city's alleyways, there is no running away. You must sit with your demons and finally listen to what they have to say.
Woven into the expansive lore of the Darkmoor Universe, this slow-burn suspense masterfully blends real-world Mediterranean locales with rich mythological horror. It is an intimate, atmospheric nightmare that refuses to exploit tragedy, choosing instead to hand the microphone back to the spirits demanding justice.
The sea is stretching like black glass. The shadows are ready to speak. Will you listen?

Praise & Reviews
S.B. Darkmoor’s Die Djinn schlafen nicht is a chilling descent into myth and memory.
Blending Egyptian mysticism with psychological tension, the novel turns silence, mirrors, and the color Egyptian Blue into instruments of dread. More than a ghost story, it’s a tale of inheritance where mothers, daughters, and sisters carry secrets older than themselves. Dark, poetic, and unforgettable.
‘Gripping storytelling’
