(2024)Six Files from the Department of Inhuman Resources
An anthology of stories edited by TJ Price
They don't want you to read this. This manuscript—leaked to the public by the (former) director of the Department of Inhuman Resources, TJ Price—comprises six accounts about the Company from award-winning and noteworthy authors:
- AI JIANG details a terrifyingly plausible ordeal in a near-future where every day is slick with oil
IVY GRIMES tells the tale of one promotion-obsessed worker in a very strange bookstore
ERIK McHATTON delves into corporate horror to find the cosmic menace lurking in the sub-basement of an office
CARSON WINTER relates a hellish onboarding experience with a body-disposal company in the aftermath of quarantine
CHRISTI NOGLE recounts how an English professor is drawn into the investigation of a strange disappearance
CALEB STEPHENS connects technological terror with the banality of human evil in a suspiciously familiar big-box electronics store
Accompanied by facsimiles of HR documents from each case, this anthology aims to open your eyes to the nefarious doings of the Company, for whom you may already be working—even if you aren’t aware of it. Consider this a new handbook to the working world, and follow its warnings carefully, else you might be caught unprepared when called to that mysterious office on the top floor…
