Howard... Bob Howard

I finally finished The Jennifer Morgue, including the extra short story at the end ("Pimpf").

Utterly brilliant.

This would make a genius TV series.

The plot of this and The Atrocity Archive essentially follow the adventures of Bob Howard (name presumably inspired by Robert E. Howard), a hapless IT schmuck and necromancer working for the Laundry, Great Britain's occult intelligence network.

It's very British.
