Curriculum for the Dead is a gothic psychological horror novel set at a university where certain classes are taught exclusively to the dead-and where the living who enroll are never allowed to remain unchanged. When Elias Mercer receives a syllabus printed in ash, he is drawn into an unmarked wing of campus where attendance is mandatory, grades are carved into stone, and failure is measured in burial rather than credits.
As Elias moves through lectures held in mausoleums, midterms written as epitaphs, and a commencement that offers release at an unbearable cost, he discovers the university is not preparing students for life, but for erasure. Memory becomes unreliable. Identity becomes negotiable. Love becomes a liability the institution is eager to exploit.
Blending gothic academia, existential horror, and mind-bending psychological dread, Curriculum for the Dead explores what happens when systems of learning turn grief into policy and survival into a moral compromise. This is not a story about ghosts-it is about what remains when institutions teach people how to disappear quietly, and what it costs to refuse.
Dark, unsettling, and emotionally devastating, this novel lingers long after the final page-like ash that never quite washes off.
