My Work Is Not Yet Done follows Frank Dominio, a supervisor whose on-the-job philosophy is to keep his head down. But when a smug, creepy executive and a cabal of Dominio’s colleagues conspire to backstab him, leading to his forced resignation, Dominio comes in contact with an all-consuming, supernatural force that empowers him to take his revenge on his former compatriots in ways that are at once wildly imaginative, spectral, visceral, and darkly hilarious. Dominio’s ghoulish “work” leads to an unforgettable epiphany about reality itself that is revealed to be, in true Ligottian fashion, “a nightmarish obscenity.”

“I Have a Special Plan for This World” continues Ligotti’s corporate horror theme, documenting the Blaine Company's relocation to a strange city permeated by a thick, yellowish haze. After a series of mysterious murders, the company's founder, U. G. Blaine, begins to take a “direct hand” in operations. Blaine’s supernatural presence seems to merge with the city's toxic atmosphere as the company pursues its “preposterous ambition” to become a “dominant force in the world marketplace.”

The volume concludes with “The Nightmare Network,” a fragmented transmission from OneiriCon, a dreaming “multinational corporation” that seems to encompass existence itself. Told through a dizzying array of classified ads, executive memos, and surreal vignettes, Ligotti chronicles the ultimate big business “of delirious images and impulses” that ultimately merges with its own “anti-entity,” plunging all of reality into a “great chaos of confused purposes churning in darkness.”
