A body of work masterfully designed and intricately embedded with philosophical, psychological, social, and scientific ideas.

As Above
An epic of brotherhood and circumstance, As Above turns the bond between twins into a universal allegory of choice. One bears scars, the other medals—but both reveal how decisions fracture a life into parallel fates. With the intimacy of lived memory and the sweep of myth, this novel is both a story of brothers and a mirror of the soul. It is a masterwork of psychology and symbolism, proving that no path is free of regret, and no bond is truly severed.

Eden Grove
The cornerstone of a new era in science fiction, Eden Grove is a recursive, cinematic saga of technology, memory, and control. Here lies a world ruled by a corporation that has replaced governments, where the Alpha Omega System, Thetanet, and the Tree of Life redefine existence itself. Ava and Aiden stand as reflections of what we become inside and outside the machine: one consumed by simulation, the other transcendent beyond it. As visionary as The Matrix, as intricate as Inception, Eden Grove is not just a novel—it is a prophetic system of thought disguised as story.

Windows
A generational horror, Windows exposes the captivity of perception itself. Across three fractured timelines, trauma is passed down like inheritance: a child stolen, siblings trapped in routine, a house of violence repeating itself under the mask of family. There are no ghosts, no demons—only the unbearable truth that captivity becomes ritual, and ritual becomes normalcy. Gemma’s story is a revelation: that the glass we look through does not show freedom, only the prison we’ve been given. Windows is a psychological landmark in the literature of trauma, as precise as it is haunting.

Leading the Blind
A meditative coming-of-age and a philosophical redefinition of vision, Leading the Blind tells the story of Mallard—a nonverbal, autistic, visually impaired teen whose perception transcends sight. In a school built as a sensory cathedral, designed by a founder who believed blindness was another spectrum of vision, Mallard becomes the living proof of that dream. He does not stumble—he resonates, navigating by texture, frequency, and harmony. Stylish, quiet, and profound, Leading the Blind is both narrative and manifesto: a text that reframes perception as philosophy, science, and art.

Dinner Ideas
Dinner Ideas is a family drama disguised as a meal and a psychological excavation staged as a dinner table. Rochelle, mother and narrator, serves each dish as both memory and catalyst—every course unlocking buried conflicts, betrayals, and revelations. Food becomes time travel; laughter becomes confession; dessert becomes catharsis. By the end, appearances of success and stability collapse, leaving only the raw truth of who the family really is. Layered with philosophy, social critique, and symbolic precision, Dinner Ideas is a masterclass in how the ordinary becomes the arena of the extraordinary.

Passing of the Mind
A lyrical odyssey of consciousness, Passing of the Mind follows Ezekiel, scarred with years, and Salar, radiant with youth, across deserts, ruins, and skies of gold. Their journey is no simple trail—it is the passage of thought itself: memory to possibility, burden to desire, ruin to renewal. Every step is philosophy in motion, every ruin a fragment of identity, every horizon the transformation of self. Passing of the Mind is at once story and mirror, proving that the mind does not end—it passes, handing itself over to the next form of being.

Bottom Del Magnific
Darkly regal and enigmatic, Bottom Del Magnific plunges into the paradox of magnificence found in ruin. Here, the bottom is not failure but foundation; magnificence is not triumph but revelation through collapse as seen through the eyes of troubled children . A poetic-philosophical masterpiece, it explores depth as inheritance, grandeur as paradox, and sublimity as something uncovered only when all else has fallen away. Both profound and resplendent, Bottom Del Magnific crowns Duncan’s canon as its most mysterious jewel.
⸻
Each title is an intellectual artifact, a psychological excavation, a scientific meditation, and a social critique embedded in story. Together, they form a literary universe of philosophy in motion.
