Human Resources

by Floyd Kemske

Literary Fiction and Classics Editor's Recommended Book: Floyd Kemske's darkly comic sendup of corporate evil goes right to the hell of the matter, taking us inside a failing biotech company as a new boss is brought in to restructure the organization. The new boss, however, is both literally and figuratively a vampire with a taste for other people's blood as well as their ideas. Despite the supernatural twist, Kemske captures perfectly the real human existential discomfort of life in the bizarre social microcosm that is the modern corporation.
