Reed Mallory

Reed Mallory writes speculative satire for the spiritually exhausted, the algorithmically overexposed, and anyone who's ever tried to survive a team-building exercise without losing their soul. A lifelong student of bureaucracy-divine, corporate, nd digital-Mallory brings a sharp wit and a love of the absurd to stories that blur the lines between the celestial and the cubicle, the viral and the eternal.

His debut novel, Cancel the Apocalypse, earned cult acclaim for its hilarious portrayal of divine mismanagement and a clerical error that nearly ended the world on the wrong day. His latest, Human Resources from Hell, takes readers deeper into the underworld's fluorescent-lit offices, where performance reviews are eternal and staplers have a thirst for blood.

Up next is The Algorithm Is Watching, a darkly comic tech thriller that asks what happens when your social media strategy becomes sentient-and wants to monetize your very existence.

When he's not writing, Mallory can be found arguing with his smart fridge, doomscrolling ironically, or drinking ethically-sourced coffee while plotting the next cosmic blunder.
