This one doesn’t shout.

It confesses.

At the center: a face caught mid-realization—eyes too wide, smile too eager, flesh already negotiating with something beneath it. Tendrils curl where certainty used to live. Whatever this was, it thought it understood the rules. It was wrong.

The front keeps the warning small, almost merciful:

THIS WILL NOT SAVE YOU

As if saying it quietly might soften the blow.

The back tells the whole story.

A dense block of text—part manifesto, part autopsy report—layered over a figure that has already crossed the line between witness and participant. The words don’t comfort. They accuse. They read like something recovered from a secure location after the lights went out and no one answered the phone.

This isn’t lore for lore’s sake.

It’s the written record of what happens when:

• Authority mistakes control for safety

• Language fails before the truth does

• Hope rots slowly, politely, under supervision

This is the uniform of those who kept reading.

Those who didn’t look away.

Those who know that understanding is not immunity.

Wear it if you like your horror thoughtful, literate, and quietly damning.

Wear it if you know the scariest thing isn’t the monster—

It’s the paragraph explaining why the monster was inevitable.

Put it on.

Read it twice.

Accept the footnotes.

This will not save you.
