Colin Gets Promoted and Dooms the World

Colin works in Human Resources at Dark Enterprises, which is your friendly neighborhood hell-like multinational corporation. He’s spent years in a cubicle, taking abuse from those around him, and now he’s facing the wrath of a co-worker trying to sabotage his career. As a result, he’s facing termination, which for this company is permanent. But when a shadowy figure offers him his heart’s deepest desire in exchange for a small favor, how can he refuse? It just may cause the world to end and an evil to be unleashed.

This is a unique premise that wins for originality and stands out from anything else you’re going to read this year. The characters’ choices are questionable, but Waddell makes them so likable you can’t help rooting for them, especially Colin, who’ll make you keep turning the page just to see how things are going to go horribly wrong for him. This is for those who enjoy humor that has an Addams-like darkness and a Good Omens wit. At the center is a character who is tired of being pushed around, which opens up interesting themes and conversations. Colin Gets Promoted and Dooms the World is a unique spin on ‘careful what you wish for’ with dark humor done right, a creative premise, and clever writing.
