THE SHRINE OF PHILOSOPHICAL APOCALYPSE

"When the veil of reason tears, we do not awaken—we dissolve."
– The King in Yellow

Definition

Philosophical Apocalypse is not a genre—it is a fate. These are stories that confront horrors so vast, so personal, that they fracture not just reality, but the soul. When you finish, you must ask: Have I been marked by the Yellow Sign?
