Philip Kenan has come to Austin, Texas following ex-girl-friend Amelia, whose affection he hopes to reclaim. He is working the night shift at Ralph's One-Day Resumes, a dismal job, but not the worst one he has ever had (there is always MicroMeg, that hideous corporation whose monsters haunt his dreams). He fears he may be losing his mind. The motivational pamphlets that he receives with his paychecks do nothing to allay the fear ("You may say to yourself, 'I am an insignificant person in this big company.' The truth is, what you do is important to people who are important.") Seeking help, he answers a newspaper ad (Issues Addressed) & meets unorthodox therapist Dr. Lily Metcalf. Divided into three chilling sections ("The Estranged Lovers," "The Doom that Came to MicroMeg," & "The Perils of Pelidyne") this novel explores the grim world of employment & its relationship to the monsters in H.P. Lovecraft (Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, Nyarlathotep, etc.). Resume With Monsters takes a satirical, surrealistic look at the workplace. It is also a love story & an action-packed entertainment.
