Any Arabic readers around here? (lemm.ee)

Any Arabic folks around here? I'm looking for Arabic books that are similar to Stephen King's style. Doesn't have to be 100%, horror or some fantasy. I've found some of his books translated, but I'd like to read those genres written by actual Arabic writers. I've been away from that part of the planet for around 15 years and I haven't been following our modern writing to be honest. I've read many books for older novelists like نجيب محفوظ and طه حسين and some others, but I'd like to catch up on any new ones.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you. I've read a ton of historic nonfiction, and some historic fiction myself. Checked with our lord and savior AI and it gave me some names and books. Got a couple and about read them. One is the blue elephant (الفيل الأزرق). They say it was best seller, so let's what it's about. Also, that site you linked never opens from my phone. Tried 3 browsers and it still didn't want to open.

It was working right before I linked it!!

It's a host issue, we gotta wait until it's resolved. But I do recommend visiting it, it's better than anything AI can offer. Anyways, enjoy your read.

Edit: it should be working now.

Yeah, it works but very slow. It looks like it's a site that recommends books? I was looking for a download button or something, but nothing is there.
Also, thank you so much.
