About the Book
You’ll Feel This Later is a collection of transgressive short stories, performance fragments, and digital artifacts arranged to trigger something delayed. Told through confession, hallucination, surveillance footage, mirror rituals, and cult reunions. These stories explore what happens after curiosity lingers too long.
Themes include:
- Intimacy collapse
- Belief as architecture
- Surveillance and control
- Rituals that spiral into performance
- Pleasure and venom
- Bodies in devotion
Some stories reward rereading. Some sting. Some feel like they’re watching you back. Read slowly. Symptoms may be delayed.
