In the Dole-Drums (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

📄 One man. One week. One soul-crushing course.

Dean's already on the ropes. With a girlfriend, two kids, and barely enough money to scrape by, he's just trying to keep his head above water. But now the Jobcentre wants him on a "back to work" course-or he loses his dole. CV writing, mock interviews, motivational mantras... all in the name of getting the unemployed back into gear.

But is it help-or humiliation? And will Dean make it through the week with his dignity intact?

In the Dole-Drums is a raw and honest 4,300-word short story that dives deep into Britain's welfare system, the struggles of the working class, and the quiet rebellion against bureaucracy and hopelessness.

Perfect for fans of social realism, working-class fiction, and gritty contemporary drama with heart and humour.

Autorenporträt

James Dargan is the author of over thirty books spanning crime, noir, satire, historical fiction, and literary fiction. Known for razor-sharp dialogue, vivid characters, and a knack for weaving grit with dark humour, his work ranges from the hard-boiled streets of the Napoleon Clancy thrillers to the sprawling crime sagas of The Bayside City series, the evocative Latin American novels, and a host of standalone titles.

Dargan's novels often drop readers into morally complex worlds where loyalty is fragile, justice is elusive, and survival depends on quick thinking and a little luck. Influenced by the likes of Elmore Leonard, Dennis Lehane, and Cormac McCarthy, his prose balances propulsive storytelling with atmospheric detail, creating stories that are as cinematic as they are immersive.

Whether exploring mob wars and political corruption, the quiet desperation of outsiders, or the chaos of history's turning points, Dargan writes with an unflinching eye and a storyteller's instinct for pacing, character, and place. His work is as much about the people caught in the crossfire as it is about the bullets themselves.
