The Class No One Warned You About
The Class No One Warned You About
Some stories grab you with monsters. Curriculum for the Dead grabs you with a question: what if school didn’t prepare you for life—but for disappearance? This book was born from the feeling many of us know too well: sitting in a room, doing everything “right,” and still feeling like you’re slowly being erased. It’s dark, eerie, and unsettling—but it’s also deeply human.
In this story, a student receives a syllabus printed in ash. That one moment pulls him into a hidden side of a university where certain classes are taught only to the dead—and the living students who attend are never the same again. Attendance is mandatory. Grades are carved into stone. And graduation doesn’t mean success—it means loss. The horror isn’t loud. It’s quiet, slow, and personal.
Curriculum for the Dead isn’t about ghosts chasing people down hallways. It’s about systems that teach people to stay silent, to shrink, and to disappear politely. It’s about what happens when grief becomes a rule, when love becomes a weakness, and when survival comes with a cost you never agreed to pay.
This book is for readers who love gothic stories, dark academia, and psychological horror—but also for anyone who has ever felt invisible in a place that promised growth. This story doesn’t ask you to be brave. It asks you to stay human.
Coming soon. Stay awake.
