9802 cd5e8f58-3398-4c3e-b039-210232212982 Résumé with Monsters William Browning Spencer calibre (2.46.0) [http://calibre-ebook.com] 1995-02-02T00:00:00+00:00 <p class="description">SUMMARY:<br>A dark-humored employee-angst novel, seasoned liberally with the Cthulhu Mythos. Spencer has a wonderful antic wit -- he reminds me of Thomas Disch, as in The Businessman. His hapless hero bounces from one dead-end job (Ralph's One-Day Resumes) to another (corporate giants with names like MicroMeg and Pelidyne), but he can't seem to get away from those monsters. Great scenes in which Xerox machines and fax machines and the industrial sprinklers they install overhead in offices interact with Lovecraft's Elder Gods. Lightweight, as horror novels go, but unusually good fun.
