Author Description

Reality is breaking. A dying occultist retreats into the snowbound woods to become his own god. But something in the forest is watching. Dr. Amir Alzzalam, occultist, neuroscientist, and apostate of the Left-Hand Path, has vanished into the snowy depths of the Black Forest. Haunted by terminal illness and pursued by shadows of his former life, he devotes his final days to the ultimate working: the creation of a universe in which he alone is God. Over 18 months of isolation, Alzzalam constructs a labyrinth of ritual, symbol, and madness. His goal is to contact his Greater Self, breach the fabric of reality, and escape death itself. But something stirs in the silence. A presence behind the trees. A whisper that knows his name. As the veil thins, the Karcist confronts rogue thoughtforms, fractured realities, and unknowable entities who mistake him for a god or worse, a rival. The KARÇIST is a metaphysical horror novel for readers of Lovecraft, Ligotti, and esoteric grimoires. It is a descent into the mind of a man who dares to write his own gospel, guided by madness, ritual, and the hunger for self-deification. Read it as fiction. Or treat it as a grimoire. The choice, like the ritual, is yours. Step into the forest. Light the black flame. Become what you truly are.
