The Corporation by J.F. Gonzalez (Book Recommendation)

      We’ve all had bosses that we thought were evil. Let’s face it. J.F. Gonzalez, on the other hand, takes it to an entirely different level in The Corporation. This novel was originally published in limited edition by MorningStar Press and has been re-released as an e-book by Midnight Library.
     This novel follows Michelle, a new hire for Corporate Financial Corporation and her doctor boyfriend Donald. Their experiences exemplify all the evils of Corporate America, some of which don’t strike me as much of an exaggeration. You’ve probably known someone who has been screwed by insurance companies just as badly as certain characters in this book. And you’ve certainly had a boss that treated you like a mindless worker drone. The reality of these supposed exaggerations make them that much more poignant, that much scarier.
     The Corporation is written very much in a Bentley Little vein. Had it not been for certain J.F. Gonzalez hallmarks, you could have hidden the author’s name from me and I would have said “Hey, Bentley Little’s finally moved on from the Southwest!” I’m also reminded of Gary Frank’s Institutional Memory (Medallion, 2008).
      At any rate, I recommend this book to just about any horror fan. Might be a turn off if you happen to be a corporate suit, the president of the Newt Gingrich fan club, or a union buster or something. Go check ‘er out
