Horace Thompson, a burnt-out Australian correctional officer with a bad back and a worse attitude, never meant to open a wormhole in his lounge room. But after a mix of petrol, vinegar, and bloody-mindedness, he’s abducted by Moss Piglets (space tardigrades with control issues), put on trial for disrupting the galactic order, and reluctantly fitted for a suit by a smug alien tailor with a criminal past. Between jazz-fuelled therapy, absurd legal battles, and the unsettling possibility of personal growth, Horace is forced to confront everything he’s spent a lifetime avoiding—mainly himself. Cosmic Reformation and Moss Piglets is a darkly funny sci-fi satire about burnout, broken systems, and the strange healing power of reluctant self-reflection. Perfect for fans of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Red Dwarf, and frontline workers who’ve ever thought, “I’m one bad day away from letting the aliens take me.”
