Luis Wettel writes fiction that hurts for a reason.
His debut novel, Cancer in Paradise, is inspired by real-world oppression, exile, and protest. Through visceral storytelling and haunting realism, he exposes what silence, power, and fear can do to a nation—and to the people inside it.
His next novel explores the collapse of humanity after centuries of AI dependence—a dark, immersive warning about what we lose when we forget what it means to be human.
He believes stories should not just entertain, but confront.
When he’s not writing, he builds systems. But fiction is where he dismantles them.

A brutally honest novel inspired by true events. Cancer in Paradise is not entertainment. It’s a warning.
From brutal protests and tortured dissidents, to hunger, betrayal, and the perilous crossing of the Darién Gap—every story is based on real events. Every moment feels lived.
I didn’t write Cancer in Paradise to entertain. I wrote it because silence was becoming too comfortable—for everyone.
What the characters go through in the novel is real. Every chapter is a scar someone carries. Every death, every exile, every silence—they all happened. They still happen.
This story was born from hunger. From families burying loved ones. From voices erased. From banners with smiling faces covering the smell of decay. From the screams no one heard.
