Charles Stross

Charles Stross — 14 titles in the rankings, first published between 2004 and 2020. They average 7.8 — level with the catalogue as a whole. 2 of the series have a reading order worth keeping to.

Editor’s note The Laundry Files mix spy thriller, office comedy and Lovecraftian horror: Bob Howard, an IT specialist at a secret British agency, fights monsters summoned by mathematics. The Atrocity Archives starts it and is the most read but the lowest rated; the series gets clearly better, with The Delirium Brief at the top. The Merchant Princes, about a family that walks between parallel worlds, follows the same pattern.
