City of the Silent

In the aftermath of a quiet personal collapse, Navid finds himself pulled into a city that doesn't exist on any map
a city built from memory, silence, and everything forgotten.

Alongside Sima, a woman he barely knows but inexplicably trusts, they walk through mirror-lined halls, staircases of echo, and rooms that reflect not their faces, but their fears.

City of the Silent is not just a place.
It's a state of being. A reckoning. A whisper in the mind of anyone who has ever tried to forget in order to survive.

A haunting novella about memory, exile, and the echo of silence.

Alireza Habibian is an Iranian-Swedish writer, ICT engineer, and independent creator based in Stockholm.

His work explores the intersection of memory, silence, and displacement
often drawing from real-life experiences of migration, cultural duality, and the inner lives of those in-between worlds.

City of the Silent is his second full-length literary work.
