Praise for A Conventional Boy: ""[A Conventional Boy] reads a bit like Terry Pratchett trying his hand at Lovecraftian horror. The result will delight."" - Publishers Weekly, starred review Praise for the Laundry Files: ""Smart, literate, funny."" --Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians ""A bizarre yet effective yoking of the spy and horror genres."" --The Washington Post ""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 Fuller Memorandum
