CASE NIGHTMARE RED!. “The Nightmare Stacks” is the sixth full novel in the Laundry Files Series. In these books, Charles Stross takes us into the world of the UK’s secret government agency which protects its citizens from supernatural horrors from the darker parts of the multiverse. The protagonist of this particular novel is Dr. Alex Schwartz, who is a pretty new Laundry employee. He is also a vampire (or PHANG in Laundry-speak). He was introduced in the fourth novel “The Rhesus Chart”. He’s just met a smoking hot girl named Cassie, who is much more than she appears. In fact, she is an eldritch spy, Agent First of Spies and Liars, and a member of a race from a parallel earth called the alfar. These magic-using hominids have visited the earth before and given rise to many ancient legends. Alex doesn’t know it yet, but he will soon be declaring the first actual incident of CASE NIGHTMARE RED. The story of the Laundry and its staff are rife with dry dark humor that is characteristic of this series. It’s interesting to see a novel written from a different viewpoint than Bob or Mo. Alex is the storyteller here, with supporting roles from Pinky, Brains, and Pete the Vicar. In spite of all the Lovecraftian darkness, we get to see the Laundry do the best they can to keep the monsters and villains at bay, while simultaneously dealing with rules, regulations, and red-tape found in any bureaucratic organization.

The Nightmare Stacks. Best book of the series by far. Case Nightmare Red finally happens. In Yorkshire.

Attention keeper of a book. I've been a fan of the Laundry series since the beginning. The Nightmare Stacks is a worthy addition to the series. I just hope the next book will take up where this left off, and that the next won't take over a year to bring out.

Eehhhaggghahhugh. Ack, death.. So the thing is, I love Charles Stross' books. Been with him through all of the laundry series, love all of it, novellas, all of it. Supremely talented author with a great voice and a firm grasp on the genre. However, at a couple different points in the book,(up until I put it down) it got to be really excessively graphic. I'm not squeamish, and definitely not one for censorship, but yeah. Just maybe tone it down a touch, Stross? I've been looking forward to the newest book in the series for a year or more and when it's basically just murder-porn, it turns into a huge bummer. Couldn't get through it, sad to say.
