https://reactormag.com/equoid/#comment-823810

excellent, but disturbing, work. i feel that it sits well within the laundry universe. one thought bothers me, however, and that is what becomes of georgina. i can't decide if she should have bee...

Thanks and Congratulations! Love the classic spy tale takes in the stories. Could there be a LeCarre inspired Laundry tale in the future?

Hilariously, this is only the second most horrifying unicorn short story I've read on this site. (the first, of course, being 'Ponies' by Kij Johnson). Great work as usual!

Disturbing, horrifying, absolutely fantastic! (as per usual) I just found these short stories a short while ago, and I must say I love them. Not only are they good stories in general, but it's a ...

Google image "EMOCUM", it has some truly graphic pictures of unicorns.

@ Chatrooms. Yup. Horses are sometimes half a ton. The few times I have ridden, always amazes me that this big hulker moves for me, the pipsqueak.

On the other hand, because of my childhood immersion in sparkle-pony stories, I can't help noting that horses are measured at the withers, not the hock; 13 hh is more of ...

Whew. Wow. Disturbing and yet very funny. Just finished reading. (Kept getting interrupted) @Isisel: Maybe it also produces larvae that are dormant for a certain amount of time - 20 years or so. ...

Does Bob _know_ that the letter was to Robert Bloch, as opposed to Robert Howard? And perhaps H.P.L. 's letter was unable to deter R.H., and the experience contributed to the latter's suicide the...

Loved it. Especially got a giggle out of the Audit Committee's repeated attempts to kill the unicorn project, only to have the MoD try an end run around them by sending it through the Home Office...

I just love this story, great writer with excellent humour. And I appreciated the details. For example, I loved the various reports about the development of the 'unicorn' project. The one that es...

This story was awesome and it makes me want to seek out the Laundry novels. On the other hand, because of my childhood immersion in sparkle-pony stories, I can't help noting that horses are measu...

Somewhere I've seen a picture of this brown lump with the eys and stuff including a hoof sticking out of it. I have no idea when or where . I am 75. It does stick with you, I guess. Brrrrrr.

Fuck, Charles, this was the most amazing and equally disturbing shit I've read in a while. And I was just giving ping plastic unicorn as birthday present to my goddaughter! I ll never look at her...

LOL, does this mean Bronys are actually cone snails? It all makes so much more sense now...

https://reactormag.com/equoid/#comment-377261

It was a wonderful (and terrifying) tale. I read the free version For posted, but now I'm off to go find a place to purchase an e-book, because authors (and publishers) of such excellent stories ...

SchuylerH @20: Patience is a virtue. "The Rhesus Chart" should be out next year.

So, has it really been suggested that Bob is a reincarnation of Lovecraft?! And yes, this is one truly horrifying horror story... Great, but much, much darker than the rest of the Capital Laundry...

PSA: If you're wondering why this story ever got written, the truth can now be told: it was essentially

https://reactormag.com/equoid/#comment-377253

@14: I would say the novels are perhaps more of a spy thriller pastiche than out-and-out horror. The best starting place, really, is The Atrocity Archives, a Len Deighton tribute where a r...

This truly was a treasure read for me today. I was expecting the usual highly competent and readable Laundry story. But to have Lovecraft and Cold Comfort Farm thrown in for good measure was terr...
