Roy Phang – Author, Myth-Maker, Architect of Sacred Descent
Roy writes like a man unmaking himself in public. His books aren’t content — they’re cuts. Each one a fragment of myth, madness, masculinity, and cultural memory stitched together in velvet and blood.
From the ancestral fire of "Galangal: A Peranakan Legacy", to the glitch-lit howl of "House of Leaves", to the surreal spiritual satire of "The Cat Amongst the Stalls", Roy’s early books were experiments in finding a voice—until he found the blade.
His current work — beginning with "Error 404: Soul Not Found"—signals the birth of a new literary mythos.
One where gods lose their way. Devils learn tenderness. And men are taught how to walk through the world like beautiful, dangerous things.
Roy is the creator of Velvet Guillotine, a weekly Substack for those becoming divine or damned, one story at a time.
When he’s not writing, Roy is a martial artist, a hybrid athlete, and an unapologetic believer in ritual, eros, and the power of well-dressed men with dangerous minds.

The guillotine is velvet — but the cut is real.
