The Culling Ground

In a chilling vision of the near future, The Culling Ground exposes a government's most sinister solution to poverty: eliminate the poor. Branded as a reform for national sustainability, the Human Sustainability Act sends the disabled, the jobless, and the elderly into what are falsely called rehabilitation camps. But inside the gates of Camp Halcyon, no one is healed—only silenced.

Follow the story of Ella Grant, a brilliant woman confined to a wheelchair, who becomes the unlikely spark of rebellion inside the camp. As secrets are exposed and the nation watches in horror or denial, Ella's voice becomes a ghostly echo of the thousands already lost.

With gripping intensity and unflinching truth, Thomas Miller's dystopian novella is a powerful allegory of class warfare, systemic cruelty, and the dangerous cost of silence. It asks one harrowing question: What is a human life worth when measured in dollars and cents?
