The Night Shift: Workplace Horror After Midnight

Book Description

The office lights flicker. The clock strikes midnight. You're still on shift. In The Night Shift: Twenty Tales of Workplace Horror After Dark, Adrian Cave drags the everyday working world into the shadows, where performance reviews become interrogations, suggestion boxes answer back, and the graveyard shift never really ends. Across twenty chilling short stories, supermarkets, call centres, hospitals, corporate towers, warehouses and hotels become stages for quiet terror. Employees clock in, but don't always clock out. Emails arrive from the future. Payroll includes the dead. Elevators stop at floors that don't officially exist. This is horror rooted in fluorescent lighting and staff handbooks, in zero inboxes and mandatory overtime, and in the creeping suspicion that the workplace is watching you — and it doesn't intend to let you leave. Perfect for fans of psychological horror, corporate dystopia, and unsettling short fiction, The Night Shift transforms the familiar routines of working life into something deeply and disturbingly wrong. Because sometimes the scariest place isn't a haunted house. It's the office. And you're already inside.
