When a Lie Learns to Rule the World

  When a Lie Learns to Rule the World What if the most dangerous villain wasn’t loud, angry, or wild—but calm, patient, and polite? Philip Wittebane and the Discipline of Lies is a dark story about how lies don’t always start big. Sometimes, they start as practice. Philip doesn’t shout his way to power. He repeats. He explains. He teaches himself—and others—to believe only what is useful. Little by little, the truth gets tired. This book isn’t about monsters hiding in shadows. It’s about how language can shape people without them noticing. Philip learns that if you say something enough times, it stops sounding like a lie. It starts sounding like reality. That’s how Philip becomes Belos—not through magic alone, but through control, discipline, and carefully chosen words. Even though the story is dark, it’s written to be easy to understand. You don’t need to know big words or complex ideas. The fear comes from how real it feels. This is the kind of horror that makes you pause a...

When Magic Breaks the Body: A Horror Story About Surviving at Any Cost

  When Magic Breaks the Body: A Horror Story About Surviving at Any Cost What if magic could keep you alive—but only by letting pieces of you rot away? Glyph Failure Syndrome is a dark, eerie story about a man named Philip who believes symbols and glyphs can fix anything, even death. At first, the magic works. His body survives injuries no one should survive. But every time he uses a glyph, something else breaks. His hands go numb. His skin splits. His body starts changing in ways that can’t be undone. This is not a story about heroes or happy endings. It’s about obsession. Philip doesn’t stop when things go wrong—he doubles down. When his body fails, he replaces parts of it. When replacement fails, he merges with the magic itself. Slowly, the magic stops listening to him. It only cares about one thing: keeping the system running, no matter the cost. Glyph Failure Syndrome is creepy, painful, and emotional. It shows what happens when someone treats the human body like a broke...

When a Lesson Isn’t Safe Anymore

  When a Lesson Isn’t Safe Anymore Some lessons are meant to teach you how the world works. Others teach you how to break it. The Collector’s First Lesson begins with a simple mistake: a man believes he is in control. Philip thinks he has found a powerful being he can command, study, and use. He believes rules protect him. He believes knowledge makes him safe. But the voice on the other side doesn’t see rules the same way. To the Collector, everything is a game—and games don’t care who gets hurt. As the story unfolds, lessons turn darker. Punishment is framed as learning. Control starts to feel good. Philip is pushed to erase people, places, and entire worlds—not in anger, but calmly, carefully, like homework done well. What makes this story frightening isn’t loud monsters or fast scares. It’s watching someone learn to enjoy what they’re becoming. This book is gothic, eerie, and deeply psychological, but it’s written in a way that pulls you in fast. You don’t need to know ...

When Falling Apart Is Actually You Becoming Stronger

  When Falling Apart Is Actually You Becoming Stronger Sometimes life doesn’t break you all at once. It wears you down slowly. You try harder. You stay quiet. You push through. Then one day, everything stops working—and you wonder what went wrong. Built from Breakdown: The Collapse Code starts right there. It speaks to people who feel exhausted, burned out, or lost, and says something most books never do: maybe nothing went wrong at all. This book is not about “fixing” yourself or going back to who you used to be. It’s about understanding why who you used to be couldn’t survive what life demanded. When your mind and body shut down, it isn’t weakness—it’s protection. This book shows how breakdown can be a signal, not a failure. Written in clear, simple language, Built from Breakdown helps readers see their struggles in a new way. It explains how stress builds over time, why burnout happens, and how to rebuild your life without burning yourself out again. No toxic positivity. N...

Why Growing Isn’t Working Anymore — And What to Do Instead

  Why Growing Isn’t Working Anymore — And What to Do Instead Everyone keeps telling you to grow. Grow stronger. Grow smarter. Grow faster. But what if growing isn’t the problem—and never was? What if the system you’re trying to grow inside of is already broken? That’s where Don’t Grow—Mutate comes in. This book isn’t about becoming “better” in the way the world expects. It’s about becoming possible in a world that keeps changing the rules. Some lives don’t move in straight lines. Illness, burnout, trauma, disability, stress, and constant pressure can bend a person in ways growth advice never talks about. Motivation fades. Routines break. And suddenly, the old advice feels like blame instead of help. Don’t Grow—Mutate speaks to that moment—the moment when trying harder only hurts more. Mutation isn’t failure. It’s intelligence. It’s what happens when you adapt instead of pretending everything is fine. This book shows how real change often happens quietly, sideways, and without...

Your Scar Isn’t the End — It’s the Door You Didn’t Know You Survived

  Your Scar Isn’t the End — It’s the Door You Didn’t Know You Survived Most people are taught to hide their scars. Physical scars. Emotional scars. The ones no one can see. We’re told they mean something went wrong. But what if that’s not true? What if a scar isn’t proof of failure—but proof that something tried to break you and didn’t finish the job? The Scar Is the Portal is about that moment. The moment you realize you didn’t just survive pain—you were changed by it. This book doesn’t tell you to “get over it” or “stay positive.” It speaks plainly, honestly, and gently about how trauma reshapes a person from the inside out—and how that reshaping can become a source of strength instead of shame. Written in a clear, grounded voice, this book shows how wounds carry information. How scars hold memory. And how, when approached safely, they can become openings instead of walls. You don’t have to relive the pain. You don’t have to fix yourself. You just have to stop running from ...

Lipstick Is Not Decoration. It’s a Decision.

  Lipstick Is Not Decoration. It’s a Decision . Lipstick has always been treated like something small—something pretty, something optional. But for many goth girls, it’s never been just makeup. It’s a signal. A boundary. A quiet way of saying, I know who I am. Lipstick Like a Weapon is about that kind of power—the kind that doesn’t shout, chase, or beg to be seen. It’s for anyone who has been underestimated because they were calm, soft-spoken, or silent. This book is not about being mean, manipulative, or cruel. It’s about learning how to stand still when others try to push you. How to say no without explaining yourself into exhaustion. How to protect your energy without apologizing for it. It teaches that silence can be strength, that boundaries don’t need speeches, and that confidence doesn’t need volume. If you’ve ever felt pressure to smile more, talk more, or give more just to be respected—this book is for you. If you’ve been told you’re “too quiet,” “too intense,” or “h...
