Agents of Dreamland | 
pickA novella packed with aliens, cults, and Lovecraftian beings. Kiernan excels at weird fiction. This novella is part of the Tinfoil Dossier series, but can be read as a standalone.

pickA short #novella that is a part of a #series but works as a #standalone.
Lovecraftian horrors. Aliens. Cults. Time travel. Fungi growing out of people (reminiscent of The Last of Us TV show which I‘m watching right now and loving, so, yeah). Nonlinear narration. Characters of whom we know nothing beyond the superficial, but who are—because of that—mysterious and intriguing.
Confusing at times, but overall good fun.
3.5/5
so-soA novella that is just the right length and does not disappoint in the noir/sci-fi department. Kiernan is great at setting atmosphere in few words. And it includes a nightmarish use of The World tarot card! The overuse of swearing is honestly distracting, like she‘s going for Tarantino but lacks his style.
pickGreat weird fiction novella about a government agent known as the Signalman dealing with the fallout of a cult standoff gone bad. Super creepy imagery and great atmospheric writing. âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸
pickNominated for Superior Achievement in Long Fiction for the 2017 #bramstokerawards. I love Caitlin Kiernan. This haunting story of a doomsday cult investigation goes by way too quickly and leaves me wishing it were longer. Great cosmic horror.
pickHoly buckets was this good. Stylish and sinister, and similar in concept to The Girl With All the Gifts.
I‘ve finally gotten around to taking a picture of my Black Friday #BookOutlet order. It Ended Badly is a Christmas present for a friend and I‘ve read The Serpent King, but I wanted a physical copy. The rest are all new reads!
I‘m trying to keep my December book purchases to a minimum, but Book Outlet usually has a Boxing Day sale so I‘ll need to have some self control - something I don‘t typically have when it comes to books. 😂
pickThumbs up for another great Tor novella! This was a great quick, creepy read with a complex plot featuring secret agents and a cult mass suicide. Very excited to read more from this author. #ripxii #littensdressedinblood
pickCreepy, snappy, compelling Lovecraftian goodness.

Dinner break! My stomach's been off this week, so I took myself out for pho. This is my fourth Tor.com novella for the #7in7readathon. I've had a stack of them to get to, and this has been the perfect reason to do so! I'm loving what Tor.com is doing with these.
pickThat... was a lot bleaker than I expected. And I have so many questions. (Review copy.)
Been sick for a little while, but about to get into this. Excited!
