Trigger Warning

When Dr. Elias Greene accepts a visiting professorship at Langston College, he expects a quiet semester among brick buildings and bright students. Instead, he steps into a campus where therapy dogs roam the quad, protest slogans echo through mindfulness tents, and free speech is classified as a threat vector. After assigning an unfashionable 19th-century novel, Greene finds himself at the center of a spiraling moral panic-accused not of misconduct, but of failing to model emotional safety.

As faculty retreat into committees and students weaponize wellness language, Greene faces whispers, audits, and public shaming. But the real surprise comes when he refuses to disappear-and discovers the institution's obsession with optics might be its greatest legal vulnerability.

Trigger Warning is a darkly comic, razor-sharp satire of modern academia where sincerity is currency, outrage is leverage, and one wrong sentence can end you. If you've ever wondered how free speech dies-not with a law, but with a trigger warning-this is the novel for you.
