DEVOUR

DEVOUR
By Furqan Bilal

They call it a retreat.
They call it healing.
But the island calls it something else.

Angel arrives broken-no past he's willing to share, no future he believes in. What waits for him is more than rehab: a ritual of firelight, hunger, and whispers that seep through the jungle leaves. Each night, the veil between dream and body frays. Each day, the cult that promised recovery reveals sharper teeth.

At the heart of it all: Abba Jaro, a prophet draped in riddles and smiles that never reach his eyes. He preaches covenant. He preaches love. But what he demands is sacrifice.

When the fire burns green and the drums echo too long, Angel realizes the truth: on this island, healing is a feast, and he might not be the guest-he might be the meal.

Devour is a hallucinatory descent into faith, flesh, and survival. A story where desire and terror blur, where every shadow hides a mouth, and where the only prayer left is: don't get eaten.

⚠️ Trigger Warning

Devour contains intense psychological, sexual, and spiritual themes, including graphic depictions of cannibalism, violence, ritualistic imagery, body horror, death, sexual manipulation, trauma, and erotic spirituality. It explores coercion, transformation, and the dissolution of self in surreal and often disturbing ways.
