Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Reality is cracking again - which means it must be Dystopocon season.Welcome to Book Six of the beloved, bizarre, and emotionally questionable anthology series This Is Why the Multiverse Can't Have Nice Things. Inside these pages, twenty-two new stories unravel the delicate wiring of existence through cosmic bureaucracy, malfunctioning empathy, malfunctioning humans, malfunctioning robots, and one very confused Sasquatch romance.Meet a therapy doll who remembers too much. A mechanic fighting corporate hunters with a toaster-disguised robot. A management summit spiraling into psychological warfare. Goths receiving relationship counseling they absolutely did not ask for. And of course, the return of the Time Eel, benchmarking you against every version of yourself, including the one who sells artisanal egg salad on the moon.Absurd, heartfelt, unhinged, and surprisingly tender, this collection explores the fractures between identity, burnout, emotional chaos, and hope. Whether you're here for the jokes, the existential dread, or the pop-tart-as-home-defense discourse, the multiverse has a seat for you.Just wipe your feet before entering. Reality is delicate, and this series has proven repeatedly that the multiverse truly cannot have nice things.
