I'm the author, so read this as a pitch straight from the source.
Beginning of Sorrows is a supernatural Christian thriller. Half of it plays out on the ground, with ordinary people getting dragged into something bigger and darker than they bargained for. The other half takes place in the dark: the council chapters, where Satan and his crew plan their next moves. Think Screwtape with a war-room budget.
The endgame is misdirection. Satan's play is to get inside American homes through AI and keep people pointed at everything except the truth.
No capes, no chosen-one speeches. Just people trying to figure out what's real while the floor moves under them.
Straight-up content flags: some mild profanity. Large-scale supernatural violence. A couple of scenes with child endangerment. No sexual content.
If you ever read The Screwtape Letters and wondered what that looks like with modern tech running the playbook, this is my answer.

Happy to answer questions. Horror or theology, either one's fine.
