Management is the use of humans as resources; so is vampirism. When a vampire is called in to turn a sick biotech company around, reorganization takes on a much paler cast. Alternate chapters show the vampire’s business education during the Industrial Revolution.
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Floyd Kemske’s darkly comic sendup of corporate evil goes right to the hell of the matter, taking us inside a failing biotech company as a new boss is brought into restructure the organization. The new boss, however, is both literally and figuratively a vampire with a taste for other people’s blood as well as their ideas. Despite the supernatural twist, Kemske captures perfectly the real human existential discomfort of life in the bizarre social microcosm that is the modern corporation.
Review
“[A] wonderfully ambiguous and deliciously wicked tale leavened by humor…in a jugular vein.” —Kirkus Reviews
