OverviewPhilip Wittebane and the Discipline of Lies is a gothic psychological horror about how power is not seized through force-but trained through language. Philip Wittebane does not invent lies. He rehearses them. Through repetition, controlled speech, and selective memory, he teaches himself to believe only what is useful. Words become exercises. Exercises become doctrine. Doctrine becomes law. As Philip sheds his name and refines his methods, he emerges as Belos-a figure who claims to speak for a silent god and slowly reshapes an entire civilization through disciplined deception. This is not a story about madness. It is a story about optimization. Across centuries, Belos perfects sigil magic, social conditioning, and a system of conformity that erases contradiction itself. People do not obey because they fear him-they obey because they no longer remember how not to. The lie no longer requires rehearsal. It becomes infrastructure. Habit. Reality. Dark, unsettling, and intellectually terrifying, this novel explores authoritarian psychology, identity erasure, and the slow violence of belief systems that feel comforting while hollowing the soul. There are no heroes here-only survivors, functionaries, and a man who erased himself so completely that the world forgot he ever needed to lie at all. This is horror for readers who understand that the most dangerous monsters do not roar. They explain.
