 "Mindwrath: The Gospel According to X" appears to be a highly provocative and intense erotic murder mystery. It draws inspiration from Queensrÿche's album "Operation: Mindcrime" and is described as "Dirty, Devout, Violent, Mysterious, and absolutely soaked in sex, symbolism, and sacrilege". The book is presented as a "holy thank you and a filthy altar to one of the greatest rock operas of all time".

The narrative follows Janika, who wakes up in a sterile room with no memory and finds herself in a world of ritual, pain, and twisted devotion. Key themes include:

 * Mind Control and Indoctrination: Janika is "rewired" and stripped of lies by "Holy mother X", with Father Xeno claiming to have "wrote her fire" and fed it heresy. She is repeatedly subjected to rituals and confessions that aim to reshape her identity and purpose, transforming her into "Scripture Unit 004".

 * Eroticism and Violence: The book heavily intertwines sex and violence, often in a ritualistic and non-consensual context, particularly in the initial chapters. Mirae, a key figure, engages in sexually charged acts with Janika that are described as "truth" and "war".

 * Rebellion and Self-Discovery: Despite the indoctrination, Janika experiences moments of memory and rebellion, particularly through an encounter with a preacher who reminds her of her past. This leads to a struggle for her own will against the programming.

 * Symbolism and Sacrilege: The language is rich with religious and spiritual metaphors, often inverted or twisted to fit the dark themes. Concepts like "Gospel," "confession," "sermon," and "re-baptism" are used to describe acts of pain, sex, and violence. Janika herself becomes "the Gospel", a "whore prophet" and "choir of scars".

 * Transformation and Power: By the end, Janika fully embraces her role, not as a victim or disciple, but as the "origin," the "scripture," and the "sin". She ultimately kills Father Xeno and takes control, becoming a divine figure who "rewrites" others.

The book promises to be explicit and intense, exploring dark psychological and sexual themes through its narrative.
