Overview

What if murder wasn't a crime-what if it was a prize? Every year, one name is drawn. One ordinary citizen is chosen at random and granted a license to kill. No consequences. No limits. One night, one victim, and the world watching. This year, that name is Darren Cole. Darren isn't a soldier, a criminal, or a hero. He's a burnt-out office worker in a dead-end job, a man who's built his life on being invisible. Overnight, he becomes the most famous-and feared-man alive. Strangers beg to be his victim. Corporations line up with offers. Politicians want him on their side. Crowds chant his name in the streets, while hidden cameras stream his every move. He is a product now, sold to the highest bidder. And when the countdown to his ""Act"" begins, Darren discovers that refusing to play may be the most dangerous move of all. As the media turns his life into a spectacle, Darren is dragged deeper into a nightmare of surveillance, power, and control. He is stalked by willing victims who plead for death, courted by brokers who want to weaponize his license, and haunted by his own past that suggests violence has always been inside him. The closer his Act Date approaches, the more the line between man and myth blurs-and the more impossible escape becomes. In a city that worships blood and spectacle, Darren must choose: kill, refuse, or burn the system down with him. The Violence Lottery is a brutal, hallucinatory descent into the machinery of entertainment and power. It is a dystopian thriller about murder as spectacle, a psychological horror story of a man crushed under the weight of expectation, and a transgressive exploration of fame, obedience, and rebellion. For readers drawn to stories of: Dark dystopian futures Psychological thrillers about control and power Horror stories of society turned into spectacle Transgressive fiction that pushes boundaries Violent, satirical explorations of fame and celebrity This novel delivers a shocking, unforgettable experience. Step into the lottery. Witness the spectacle. Ask yourself: If you won, would you kill-or refuse?
