A collection of mixed media and epistolary/immersive books

Corporate satire and other fiction set in the office/workplace, because apparently your 9-5 just isn’t enough!

Unhinged and chaotic queer stories that are beyond entertaining (and in some ways, very disturbing as the best are haha!)

fiction about capitalism, surveillance, and how the jobs we work to survive impact our sense of self

books that have been selected for the Welcome to Night Vale patreon book club!

Books that make you feel things. Or want to feel things. Or unsure of what you're feeling. Things get weird, you're unsettled and on the edge of your seat, and you can feel your brain physically rewiring itself while you're left questioning "WTF did I just read, and what do I do now?" The answer, of course, is to touch grass and read the next book on the list.

Books that ignore the traditional way of telling a story. These books tell their stories in unexpected ways, through letters, transcripts, diaries, documents, text messages, or unconventional layouts.

Do you enjoy reading about bad bosses and horrible workplaces? Are you anxiously awaiting the next season of Severance? Do you feel a delightful rush of goosebumps at the mention of workplace horror, technothrillers, technocratic dystopia, and tales of dysfunctional late-stage capitalism run amok? This may be the list for you!
