In Death Veritas is Zaher Alajlani's first serious attempt at short story writing. In a symbolic fashion, the author uses the supernatural in order to shed light on the human condition and the futility of existence without love and compassion. In Death Veritas, the first story of the collection, tells the tale of a nameless figure whose pursuit of a raucous and debauched lifestyle robs him of his will to live. The second short story, Escape, addresses the issue of the impossibility of maintaining one's humanity without rising above senseless violence. Necrosis then narrates the story of a depressed man whose manic pursuit of power and obsession with evil drive him to human sacrifice, an act that has a catastrophic impact on determining his fate. Finally, and more hopefully, The Day Irini Died, the last story of the collection, gives account of the exorcism of young Irini, a dramatic deliverance from evil powers through which the issues of skepticism, blind faith, and reason-based faith are explored.
