The Breakroom Stories is an audio journal that specializes in strange fiction. We want to be a publication that evokes the eerie familiarity we all feel with the region between wakefulness and dream. We want to be a forum for odd or untraditional voices. We want to be a home for stories that make their readers shiver and shake. To paraphrase David Foster Wallace, we want to be a source of fiction that comforts the disturbed, and that disturbs the comfortable.
