Why read it?

1 author picked The Thing From HR as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Anybody who’s worked in an office or is a fan of Dilbert will love this book.

I loved the humor, but this goes beyond humor. Griff’s combination of bureaucracy, academic-ish prose, and the machinations of Hell are fantastic. He’s a craftsman of worldbuilding. The story is a lot of fun, especially as it’s told from a shoggoth being crammed into human form and sharing a mind with a surfer.

Just read it. You’ll not be disappointed.
