Metaphorical Bodies
"The body is the text. The text is the wound."
About This Work
Frank Void is a fentanyl-addicted horror writer in a Chicago loft surrounded by permanent hallucinations — a skull-glass, a clean blade, a notebook that is simultaneously a confession, a theory, and a last will. The void speaks through visions of a man named Rico. The line between author and story dissolves. Hieronymus Bosch meets noir. A deeply literary, meta-horror novel where the body becomes the text and the text becomes the wound.
⚠ Content Warnings
Extreme drug use, graphic body horror, psychological dissolution, self-harm, surreal violence, meta-fiction horror
THIS WORK CONTAINS NO SAFE SPACES. READER DISCRETION IS STRONGLY ADVISED.
Excerpt
The cloth was moving over the blade in a rhythm and the vision arrived anyway, the way the grotesques had been arriving since the warehouse — not through the door the PCP opened but through the fact that the door was no longer necessary. The box was gone. The membrane was gone. The vision came because it came. Frank sat at the kitchen table with the clean blade and the cloth and the afternoon light and the absolute sobriety of a man who had not taken anything and had just seen something anyway, and understood that the void had graduated.

From the Manuscript
Scenes rendered from the text. These are not promotional images — they are moments from the book.
The Void Has Graduated
Frank sat at the kitchen table with the clean blade and the cloth and the afternoon light and the absolute sobriety of a man who had not taken anything and had just seen something anyway. The grotesques had arrived without the door. Rico stood in the corner watching. The box was gone. The membrane was gone. Tony Void had already left the building.
