"Stross still spins a heck of a yarn." --Kirkus Reviews on The
Delirium Brief Gaudy and gory....This is Stross in one of his
darker moods....The political side of the book...signals some of
the real-world anxieties that stand behind the entire series.
--Locus on The Delirium Brief "A fast-paced blend of espionage
thrills, mundane office comedy and Lovecraftian horror." --SFX on
The Rhesus Chart
"Alternately chilling and hilarious." --Publishers Weekly on The
Jennifer Morgue "Combines a le Carré-style espionage thriller with
Lovecraftian horror to great effect." --The Guardian on The Fuller
Memorandum "Smart, literate, funny."--Lev Grossman, author of The
Magicians "A bizarre yet effective yoking of the spy and horror
genres."--The Washington Post Book World "Imagine a world where
gnarly Lovecraftian demons are all too real yet are routinely
neutralized with high-tech wizardry by a supersecret British spy
agency, and you'll get an inkling of the genre-bending territory
Stross explores in his Laundry Files novels." --Booklist on The
