Ha!

Today was a good mail day!

Received my signed and numbered copy of Caitlin R. Kiernan's Two Worlds and in Between: The Best of Caitlin R. Kiernan (Volume One) as well as my hardcover "Kickstarter Limited Edition" of Dennis Detwiller's Through a Glass, Darkly.

That's pretty nice - and a pretty Lovecraftian.

Hmmmm...

That latter book is one of the Delta Green novels, right?
How are those?

[edwarddain]

If you like the setting of Delta Green, or enjoyed the grimmer stories of X-Files, they're great.

But they lack some of the humor that Stross uses to lighten the load in some of his works - the humor is more gallows than not here.

Worth picking up used or on PDF to give it a try if that is the sort of style that you'd enjoy.

Oh, if it weren't for gallows humor I'd have no yuks at all, some days. :/
I'm okay with a darker version of the Laundry tales; I did go out of my way to pick up David Drake's horror collection From The Heart Of Darkness when it was out of print, after all.
