Eros Aeternum - Die Schatten des Erwachens
A slow-burn horror novel exploring the psychological terror of artificial intelligence.

The work is organized to maintain a sense of unease throughout, prioritizing mood over traditional plot progression. It serves as a study in how technology can evoke primal fears when it mimics life without possessing it.
