This is a story that lived in my head for years. I never really thought I would write it. But now it’s finished, and I’m incredibly proud of how it turned out.

If you like 1984, you’ll like this book. If you like The Hunger Games, you’ll like this book. It’s the newest addition to dystopian fiction, but it’s based on a reality that isn’t fictional at all.

If you’ve followed my work for a while, this story will feel familiar in ways that are hard to ignore. It takes the ideas I’ve been exposing for years and puts them into a narrative you can feel. It’s not just about politics. It’s about what happens when systems demand your loyalty, your identity, and your soul.

Some of you read the early draft chapters, and you’ll notice a few changes. The story arc is the same, but I cleaned up the punctuation and formatting to make it easier to read. I had been experimenting with structure, but I decided to simplify it based on your feedback. The result is a much stronger book. Some characters also grew into larger roles than I expected, adding more depth to the story.

The book will be available this week on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats. I’m also working on a special edition hardcover with illustrations to bring the world of the story even more to life.

Scroll down to download your digital copy. I hope you enjoy it.


The revolution will not be gentle.

They told us Marxism was about liberation.
They forgot to mention the chains.

Red Menace Press proudly presents its first full-length novel: a brutal, beautifully crafted fable that drags utopia by the hair and sets it on fire. The Communist Manifesto: A Revolutionary Fairy Tale is what happens when ideology meets obedience, when justice curdles into tyranny—and when one woman dares to remember.

Set in the fictional workers’ paradise of Laboria, this is the story of Eliza Shaw: mother, textile worker, and accidental heretic. When her daughter nearly dies under the regime’s so-called mercy, Eliza begins to unravel the truth behind the slogans. What follows is a slow-burning revolution of the mind—until the collective comes for her soul.

This isn’t just a story. It’s a mirror.
For everyone who has ever whispered “something’s not right”—this book was written for you.
