New Management
Charles Stross · 3 novels · 2020–2023
Charles Stross's New Management trilogy is a darker, contemporary spin-off of his Laundry Files, moving away from British occult bureaucracy toward horror rooted in everyday urban life. Opening with Dead Lies Dreaming and continuing through Quantum of Nightmares and Season of Skulls, it keeps the Laundryverse's mix of Lovecraftian horror and satire with a new cast outside the Laundry itself.
