Lovecraft by way of Microsoft Teams.
Welcome to HellCorp - where eternity is a spreadsheet, coffee is mandatory, and the apocalypse is a recurring meeting that could have been an email.
Dennis Reaper never asked to work in the afterlife. He just died at his desk and forgot to leave.
Dennis's daily duties include processing soul manifests, repairing malfunctioning miracles, and avoiding direct eye contact with the Akuma Tablet, a cursed piece of Japanese office tech that cheerfully announces its system checks in a language no one understands. Every day feels the same - until an impossible audit arrives from Upstairs, threatening to erase HellCorp entirely for underperformance in eternal suffering metrics.
With the help of Annabelle Hitchens, an intern who died of workplace dehydration, and Sully Nine-Fingers, a maintenance veteran who's been pending termination for a few centuries, Dennis has to survive divine auditors, malfunctioning afterlife software, and a rebellion led by people too tired to care anymore.
But as Dennis digs deeper, he learns that HellCorp isn't broken - it's working exactly as designed.
Because Hell isn't a place.
It's a policy.
Why You'll Love This Book
HellCorp: Infernal Use Only is bureaucratic horror with a human heart - a darkly comic descent into the underworld of middle management, where performance metrics replace morality and paperwork outlasts the apocalypse.
If you've ever stayed late at work for no reason, smiled through an urgent meeting, or whispered I'm in hell before your third coffee - congratulations, you've already survived basic training.

Excerpt
The office hummed the way fluorescent lights hum when they're sick of existing. That sound never stopped - a nervous vibration, somewhere between electricity and whispering.
It was the sound of HellCorp thinking.
HELLCORP: INFERNAL USE ONLY is a sharp, absurd, and strangely comforting reminder that even in Hell, there's still paperwork to do - and maybe that's the most human thing of all.
