Step into a piece of corporate horror where the office isn’t just soul-crushing—it might be haunted.

In this episode, Jim reviews The Indigo Room by Stephen Graham Jones, a short, unsettling work that blurs the line between reality, perception, and the quiet dread of modern work life.

As part of a collaborative collection of short horror reads—each written by a different author—The Indigo Room shows Jones working within constraints, delivering a tight, atmospheric story that keeps readers guessing. Is something supernatural happening… or is the horror rooted in burnout, isolation, and the pressures of corporate existence?

Jim breaks down:

• Why Stephen Graham Jones remains one of the most interesting voices in horror

• How this story plays with ambiguity and perception

• What works, what doesn’t, and who this short read is best suited for

• Why this isn’t Jim’s favorite Jones story—but still very much worth your time

If you’re new to Stephen Graham Jones, this is a fascinating sampler.
