Abyss

Severance meets Lovecraft in this surreal tale of corporate horror and existential dread.Joe always had potential, but he doesn't expect much, and he hopes that his new job as an admin assistant won't expect much of him. But when he enters the offices of Ponos—a company he's never heard of and knows nothing about—he discovers that potential is exactly what they want from him.A feverish dive into the inhumanity of both late-stage capitalism and the crippling anxieties of modern life, Abyss adds a new level of meaning to 'wage slave'.

The author demonstrates strong control over narrative structure, ensuring that each section of the book serves a clear purpose. Transitions between scenes are smooth, helping readers stay immersed in the story without confusion. The balance between descriptive passages and forward momentum keeps the reading experience engaging. This careful construction contributes to a sense of cohesion that enhances the overall quality of the book.
