What if someone took every phrase literally? Multi-trillionaire Thaddeus Tad Linton built an empire on precision and obedience-until one sarcastic insult sends him spiraling into a surreal world where idioms become law and metaphors bite back. When a coworker tells him to eat poop and die, Tad does exactly that... and wakes up in a twisted reality shaped by every expression he ever took too seriously.
In a satirical, mind-bending journey through a blood-red world of looping phrases, zombie office drones, and walking clichés, Tad must confront the chaos his own logic created. Can a man obsessed with control learn to feel before his story becomes a permanent joke?
Mister Literal is a darkly funny, philosophical novel for fans of Kafka, Orwell, and anyone who's ever feared taking life too seriously-or not seriously enough.
