The Office meets Lovecraft.
Ace Books, 2004, 345 pages
( You did not fill out your TPM report after saving the world from Cthulhu, Bob. )
Verdict: Fun and funny, The Atrocity Archives is a satirical spoof of spy agencies and chthonian horror, loaded with nerd humor. I'll probably read more Laundry novels, but this is a series most appreciated by those who can feel clever for getting the in-jokes. 7/10.
Also by Charles Stross: My reviews of Accelerando, Saturn's Children, Neptune's Brood, and Equoid.
My complete list of book reviews.
