This book actually contains two stories of Stross' "Laundry". Both of them ("The Atrocity Archives" and "The Concrete Jungle") are wonderful, original stories, based on the premise of secret government organizations dedicated to the protection of humanity from the horrors of parallel universes.

It's the combination of Lovecraftian elder-evil style monster horror and spy-story-techno-thriller. All with a Dilbert-style of mocking of cubicle hell.

Sound bizarre? It is, and it's fun, too.

4/5 stars.
