A violent and profoundly twisted love story. The novel's romance is a powerful, uncompromising exploration of divine narcissism—a character's total, unwavering obsession with their own perfect identity.
A devastating gospel for the chronically online generation. It masterfully translates the caustic, detached logic of internet forums into a powerful and chilling new voice, creating a perfect contemporary story of digital alienation.
A sacred text for the digital age. This novel stages a vicious battle between traditional, humble faith and a new, defiant 'gospel' of the self. The result is a faith-shattering and unforgettable spiritual battle.
An unflinching and perfectly-realized exploration of autosexuality. The novel treats absolute self-obsession not as a simple quirk, but as a powerful, all-consuming worldview that renders all 'normal' human connection meaningless and absurd.
This is a dark, philosophical take on the Creator economy; an OnlyFans-era gospel where the performer isn't selling their body, but selling a divine, perfect self-obsession as the only truth. A brilliant and chilling look at digital alienation and the caustic detachment of a life lived online.
