Dark Humor, Office Monsters & Sweet Errors: A Dystopocon Anthology Collection of 12 Short Stories
Dark Humor, Office Monsters & Sweet Errors is a sharp, weird, darkly funny collection of sci fi humor and workplace absurdism for anyone who's ever felt trapped in a corporate simulation that might actually be alive.
This Dystopocon anthology gathers twelve humorous science fiction short stories filled with sentient appliances, malfunctioning relationships, bureaucratic nightmares, and engineered creatures who understand our emotions better than we do. If you love literary satire fiction with teeth, welcome home.
Inside, Alexa testifies in a custody battle where the twinkle lights take sides. Evel Knievel attempts to jump himself while his star-spangled cat rewrites the injury schedule. Two genetically altered floating sharks become minor celebrities with major opinions. A university conference room turns into a battlefield over budget cuts and stale muffins. An office convention called HOTCON spirals into a testosterone-fueled fever dream. And throughout it all, humans try (and often fail) to keep up with the monsters they created.
Blending satirical sci fi short stories with political and social satire fiction, these tales skewer leadership culture, influencer ecosystems, toxic fandoms, and the quiet desperation of working adults who just want one day without a malfunctioning Roomba declaring war. It's absurdist speculative fiction with heart - comedy wrapped around truth, chaos wrapped around compassion.
If you enjoy dark humor short story collections in the spirit of Saunders, Vonnegut, or The Onion on a caffeine bender, this book is for you. The monsters are chaotic, the humans are worse, and the errors are sometimes sweet, sometimes catastrophic, but always honest.
Each story stands alone. Together, they form a cracked mirror of modern life - strange, funny, and a little too real.
