I came into this one knowing it was a workplace revenge tale, and I fully expected it to go to some very weird places.
And the damn thing is, it does. It gets very weird. But, I don't know if it was a different direction of weird, or that it was too weird, or not weird enough. I will say that there were times when it felt almost a little undercooked. For example, Ligotti has Detectives Black and White jumping all over the case for a bit, then they just kind of...go away.
There's times when truly bizarre stuff happens—this IS Ligotti, after all—and the weirdness is not really addressed for pages and pages and pages afterward. That part? I'm fine with that. But it's the fact that Ligotti sorta kinda alludes that this is weird and there's probably an explanation, but then basically says, whatever that explanation is, we don't know it.
I'd have almost preferred that he just let it be bizarre without even considering an explanation.
Finally, I do have to say that he paints a very accurate depiction of the corporate world, right down to the "let's reorganize just for the sake of reorganization" and "we only work to make the most money off the least product" things. Very well observed.
So, in the end, I guess Ligotti was successful in confounding my expectations yet again. I guess I was just hoping for more impact with that. Definitely not my favourite by him.… (más)
