AMPHITHEATER (2026)
Immerse yourself in a wintry Chicago setting during the late Victorian period, and follow along as the protagonist, Daniel, learns more about the city than he ever wanted to. Atmospheric and haunting, my gothic, dark academia novel brings you behind the curtain of early anatomy studies and the ethics of peering deep into the human form.

AMPHITHEATER Summary:
The winter of 1895 is threading its icy fingers through prosperous and industrious Chicago. As an aspiring lawyer at Novus Midwestern University, Daniel Gearon is certain he knows the difference between good and evil.
His understanding comes into question when he enrolls in the Post-Mortem Anatomy course led by Professor Mulligan, who insists that anyone who wants to uphold the law must understand what it means to embody a criminal.
Each week, the students gather to dissect and study a cadaver. As the semester progresses, the cadavers that turn up on the classroom’s examination table start to look like murder victims. While Daniel endures the stomach-churning anatomy lessons, a discovery about where the cadavers come from lurks in the dark.
In order to maintain his spot in this prestigious university that promises him a bright future, he must keep its secrets. Daniel will find out if his passion for studying law justifies breaking it.
