For readers of George Orwell, Margaret Atwood, and Robert Harris.
Available in Kindle & Paperback worldwide
The Novel That Had to Be Written
It was inevitable. Chaos demands a witness.
NIGHTMARES: The United Mistakes of America follows Sarah and Ming Chen, two Harvard-educated professionals drawn into a chain of terrifying events during a second Trump presidency.
What begins as policy becomes personal. What feels distant becomes intimate. Fear seeps quietly into ordinary lives..
The novel unfolds through thirty interconnected stories.
It traces how power, bureaucracy, and silence reshape families, careers, and identities — not through spectacle, but through recognition.
The author, Adwina Luis, lived and worked in the United States before returning home, where her experience inside an ICE detention facility exposed a reality more disturbing than fiction. What shocked her was not only the treatment of detainees, but the discovery that many were American citizens whose lives had been quietly dismantled.
Out of those experiences came NIGHTMARES — a chilling blend of reality and fiction that asks what happens when systems stop seeing people.
What Early Readers Say
“This book left me uneasy in a way I didn’t expect. The stories feel close to real life, and that’s what makes them disturbing— not shock, but recognition—and that’s what makes it disturbing. I kept thinking about the characters long after I finished, especially how easily fear and power can reshape ordinary lives.” — Marta Williams, Western Australia
“I’m rarely interested in politics, but this book hooked me immediately. It moves quickly and feels terrifying because it doesn’t exaggerate — it mirrors reality.” — Bob Travis, New York
“This book moves quickly and doesn’t waste time. Each story adds pressure, illustrating how political decisions have a disturbingly direct impact on real lives. It reads like fiction, but feels grounded in reality — which is what makes it unsettling and hard to put down..” — Juliette Foster, London
“This book captures the moment when belief turns into disillusionment. It’s fast-moving, unsettling, and feels frighteningly close to reality. An important and timely read..” —Anonymous, Washington D.C.
