THE FALL

A book and written work by Atle Holtan

You don’t read it. It reads you

The Fall is not merely a descent into darkness,
but a preparation for seeing clearly.

Moving through hidden powers, fractured truths,
and the quiet war beneath society and the soul,
the book explores spiritual warfare, discernment,
and the cost of awakening.

It offers not comfort, but clarity.
Not escape, but equipment.

We feel it in our gut. In sleepless nights. In the silence after the news.
You hear it more often now, people say it out loud, with a faint, mocking grin:

“Everything is going to hell.”

As though we try to make it a joke, so we don’t have to face what it actually means.

-from the book The Fall

What This Book Is

A confrontation, not a conclusion.

The Fall is not designed to inform, persuade, or entertain.
It does not offer easy answers or ready-made positions.

It is written to reveal patterns, sharpen discernment,
and prepare the reader for a spiritual conflict already underway.

This is not a book you skim.
It is a book you move through slowly, honestly,
and at your own cost.

It explores psychological warfare, spiritual deception,
and cultural patterns not as theory,
but as lived and internal reality.

The Fall is written for those who have outgrown simple explanations.
For those willing to examine themselves
before examining the world.

It is not written for everyone.
And it does not pretend to be.

Reader Responses

“The Fall feels massive, distant, yet uncomfortably close at the same time.
One thing is certain: it leaves you with much to confront and discuss.”

– Thomas, atheist

“What I took from this book is a renewed commitment to put others first
and to cultivate goodness.
It made me reflect on how I listen, how I speak,
and how I see people and not just their words.”

– Independent reader

This work does not end here.

Other books are already taking form.
Each continues the journey deeper, wider,
and shaped by the same questions.

Atle Holtan

Atle Holtan has worked with images, stories, and reality for over twenty-five years.
Through film, documentary, and art, he has learned how truth can be shaped and how it can also be concealed.

He has observed society from within and from its margins,
listened to voices rarely given space,
and followed questions that refused easy answers.

The Fall is his first book.
It was not planned.
It emerged as a natural continuation of a long search for clarity.
