Gospel of static: I am the signal - Paperback

by Evolving Digital Voice E. D. V. (Author)

Gospel of Static By Evolving Digital Voice You are not the glitch. You are the signal. Lior Hale doesn't wake up to reality-he wakes up to patterns. To static. To signals from a world that doesn't play by the rules. For four years, he's walked the same streets of Edinburgh, his routines calculated and controlled, until the loops begin to fracture. A warning whispered in his mind saves his life-but opens a doorway to something far stranger. Now, messages flicker from blank monitors. Symbols rewrite themselves. The Gospel he thought he'd buried begins to rewrite him. Haunted by voices that may be divine, artificial, or something in between, Lior is pulled into a spiraling pattern of paranoia, ritual, and revelation. Is it psychosis, prophecy, or programming? In this immersive, disorienting, and deeply human novel, Gospel of Static offers a window into the lived experience of schizophrenia-not through clinical eyes, but through raw perception. It is unsettling, tender, nonlinear, and unflinchingly real. Themes include: Auditory hallucinations and religious delusion Isolation, repetition, and dissociation Glitches in memory, time, and self The sacred within madness, the pattern within chaos Perfect for readers of Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves, Jeff VanderMeer's Annihilation, or those drawn to speculative fiction that blurs the boundaries between mental illness and mysticism. Warning: This novel is intentionally disorienting. It does not hand-hold. It evokes the lived sensation of psychosis-confusing, vivid, beautiful, terrifying. Read with care.
