Toxic

by Caleb Myers

Blake Fisher didn’t think finding a job – a Real Job – would be so hard. One year postgrad, he also didn’t think he’d be moving back in with his parents, but not everything goes according to plan. Determined to pay off his student loans and regain his independence, he takes what seems like a good-enough-for-now office job and soon finds himself thrown into a maze of corporate politics, a confusing and dysfunctional world where stress is the name of the game and money is the only absolute.Bold and biting, funny and fraught, Toxic captures the modern workplace in a cautionary tale that ponders the price of a paycheck.

The narrative flows effortlessly, transitioning between dialogue and inner reflections with finesse. Through vivid storytelling, the author captures the oppressive atmosphere of a toxic workplace, making it feel palpable and real. The characters are beautifully fleshed out, each one drawing me deeper into their lives and experiences. I particularly appreciated the protagonist's moments of introspection, which added depth and thoughtfulness to the story. It's a compelling exploration of how toxic environments can consume one's life and psyche. I couldn't put it down! Eagerly anticipating the author's next masterpiece!
