Humorous and Thought-Provoking
Although Floyd Kemske jokes about being an obscure novelist, it is truly a shame that his pioneering books about downsizing, corporate cold-bloodedness and wacky HR policies are not more widely known. "Human Resources" possesses enough wit to entertain and challenge as it draws the reader into the ultimate in predatory workplaces. Lovers of Dilbert and corporate skeptics will enjoy the acid penned approach and even some HR types will smile at his depiction of an anti-personnel department. Kemske is somewhat of an acquired taste, but he is well worth your time.

Bloody Business
This is the second novel by Floyd Kemske I've read (Lifetime Employment being the first).

Kemske's voice is a mixture of cool and detached perspective, with a little...something that quietly says, "all is not quite right." Reading Kemske is like reading a Kubrick film. Comparison to J.G. Ballard and Christopher Fowler also come easily.

Giving the story away, this is easily the best vampire novel I've ever read. I recommend this and Lifetime Employment very highly.
