Finale
An allegorical reversal of Genesis exploring humanity's spiritual and physical demise.
Garaffa constructs a narrative where the end of the world is tied directly to the erosion of divine belief. The text posits that mankind’s destruction is not merely physical but existential, rooted in a failure of faith. As the creation shrinks and darkens, the protagonist or collective subject experiences a parallel mental collapse. This approach frames the apocalypse as a psychological and theological event rather than a purely physical one. The work invites contemplation on the fragility of human belief systems when faced with inevitable doom.
Published in 2013 by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform, this work sits within the tradition of American independent horror and gothic fiction. It engages with longstanding Western literary themes regarding the apocalypse and biblical interpretation.
