   I have enjoyed Stross's "Laundry" series books for years, and re-read a   
   number of them. But now that the elder gods and eldritch horrors have   
   won, the "New Management" series is a little too much horror and   
   bloody-minded for my taste. I will probably still finish the new series,   
   but it has been slow going.
