Beyond the Cubicle and Other Stories isn't just a collection-it's a trapdoor.
You open it expecting short fiction and suddenly you're fall through a kaleidoscope of horror, sci-fi, office dread, cosmic tenderness, psychological spirals, and the kind of strange hope only a survivor could write.
Frank Question Mark takes the everyday-cubicle, commutes, break rooms, childhood memories, technology, loneliness-and peels the skin back to show the shimmering, monstrous, beautiful thing underneath. Every story is a dare. Every page says, "Look closer"
Take "The Midnight Deadline" cycle.
It drops you into an office so haunted by burnout it practically has a pulse. Deadlines stop being metaphors and start being predators. Meetings become rituals. Cubicle become traps. It's capitalism reimagined as cosmic horror and somehow still funny in a way that hurts a little.
