About the Series
The Premise
Ryan Enterprises is the perfect company. Beautiful offices. Incredible benefits. Gourmet cafeteria food. And a simple philosophy: there are no excuses, only results.
But the company has a secret. The employees who fail to perform don't get fired. They get processed. And that exceptional cafeteria food? It's made from the bottom 20%.
The Themes
The NO EXCUSES series explores capitalism as literal consumption—a metaphor made flesh. It asks: How much of yourself will you sacrifice to survive? And what happens when you discover you've already sacrificed too much?

Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I start?
We recommend starting with Book 1: No Excuses. It's designed as the entry point and introduces you to the horror through Elias Thorne's eyes.
Can I read the prequel first?
You can, but we don't recommend it for first-time readers. No Mercy reveals backstory that's more impactful after you've experienced the main series. It was written to be read third.
How graphic is the content?
The series deals with cannibalism, corporate horror, psychological trauma, and violence. While not gratuitously gory, the themes are dark and the implications are disturbing. It's intended for adult readers comfortable with horror fiction.
Is each book standalone?
Each book tells a complete story, but they're deeply interconnected. You'll get the most out of the series by reading them in order. Characters and events carry across all eight books.
