At a prestigious experimental institution, students arrive seeking knowledge-but graduation reveals a horrifying truth: they leave with less than when they began. When one graduate forgets their own name during commencement, the illusion shatters. Classes don't teach-they erase. Professors don't guide-they harvest. Memories fade, identities fracture, and the future itself is systematically removed. As students descend deeper into a curriculum designed to dismantle the self, a terrifying realization emerges: this school was never meant to educate. It was built to refine human beings into something empty, something compliant... something that cannot resist. Yet in the ruins of their unraveling minds, a fragile connection begins to form between two students-something the institution failed to fully erase. A dangerous anomaly. A final defiance. But in a place where language dissolves, meaning collapses, and even love is treated as contamination, can anything survive unlearning? Or will they graduate into nothing? The School That Teaches You Backwards is a brutal, gothic psychological horror novel that explores identity, memory, and the terrifying cost of knowledge taken too far.
