Entropy
A novel about a world shrinking into a claustrophobic studio of despair.
Allan constructs a dystopian vision where humanity loses its capacity for reason and empathy. The setting transforms into a metaphorical small apartment, trapping inhabitants in daily dread. A privileged few witness this collapse from a distance, bound by secrets they cannot share. Their helplessness highlights the theme of inevitable kismet. The narrative structure mirrors the disintegration it describes, moving toward an ominous final disconnect. This approach creates a sense of unease that lingers long after the last page.

The 2008 release date coincides with global economic uncertainty, reflecting themes of disintegration and loss of control. It sits within the tradition of self-published horror fiction that challenges mainstream narratives.
