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 spells or lore to understand the fear. It’s about manipulation, curiosity, and what happens when innocence becomes cruel. The horror creeps in quietly—and stays.
The Collector’s First Lesson is coming soon.
And once the lesson starts, you don’t get to say no.
