I can highly recommend Charles Stross's The Atrocity Archives ; it's an excellent mix of H.P. Lovecraft and grimy British Harry Palmer type spy thriller. In fact I'm reading a bunch of Stross at the moment 1 . I have the The Jennifer Morgue , the next in the Harry Palmer Lovecraft series, to look forward to. Once I've finished Ventus by Karl Schroeder. 1 bunch is the collective noun for a group of science fiction novels by a particular author, related to shitload ; which connotes a great quantity of science fiction novels by a particular author.
