Strange Fictions In Dystopian Ireland
Destruction UnitAvailable nowWhen corporate giant Kavanagh Industries infiltrates Cork City Hall, entire communities become expendable. The poor are expelled, corrupt vulture capitalists move in, and Cork's heart is carved up for profit.Jacker and Paul never planned to become resistance fighters. But when Kavanagh's Eviction Unit tears them from their apartments - literally sucking them through their front windows and dumping them beyond the city walls - they discover an underground network of fellow exiles fighting to reclaim their homes.In a world where neighborhoods are commodities and people are obstacles to profit, can two ordinary rebels bring down a corrupt empire before their city - and everyone in it - is lost forever?With their backs against the wall and their former lives in ruins, these unlikely heroes must take on the seemingly impossible: destroy Kavanagh's ruthless Eviction Unit and stop the corporate takeover that's devouring everything they once called home.A gripping speculative thriller that exposes how corporate power could reshape our cities - and our lives.

Excavating secrets from the lower world.Alex SECAM writes dark fiction from Cork, Ireland - but this isn't the Ireland of tourism brochures. His stories explore a near-future Emerald Isle where economic brutality has replaced ancient curses, where eviction units vacuum people from their homes, and where survival means complicity in systemic violence.His debut novel 'Destruction Unit' asks: what happens when eviction becomes extraction, when housing policy becomes weaponized, and when ordinary people operate the machinery of displacement?From hyper-gentrified districts of urban Ireland, to the dark secrets of village life, SECAM’s stories transform familiar landscapes into theatres' of strange horror.Writing from the land that inspires his dystopian vision, SECAM crafts stories that feel uncomfortably possible - because they're rooted in the very real struggles of contemporary Irish life.Check out Alex's Substack now for exclusive news, stories and articles.
