I originally reviewed Resume With Monsters on November 3, 2006
Over the course of 16 years, 4 novels and 2 story collections William Browning Spencer has been quietly carving out his own bit of territory. His voice is singularly unique combining a vivid imagination and an always odd and sometimes bizarre sense of humor.
In Resume With Monsters William Browning Spencer (yes, that’s his name and no he isn’t a Romantic Poet) asks the audacious question that cube monkeys everywhere had been asking themselves ‘Is there a connection, or more specifically an unholy alliance between corporations and Cthulu?’ The gloriously demented answer is YES! Cube monkeys of the world rejoice, their secrets are finally exposed (but remember to only rejoice at a pre-approved scheduled time that is off company property, please see your supervisor to have your leg chains unlocked)
Resume With Monsters is a gleefully demented book with sharp observations on corporate culture. Anyone who has worked for a larger company will find a lot of enjoyment here though it certainly isn’t a prerequisite. It also takes the Cthulu mythos into an under utilized territory that plays more for laughs then thrills and scares all the while mirroring in many ways the typical quest that a Lovecraftian protagonist undertook.
