Goopy, gory, grizzly, bloody monsters, battles, gunplay, explosions. "With a wrenching abdominal thrust, Hiram hacked up mucous and maggots. More things were still inside him, though, slithering down his throat." And then come the creepy bits, which are even worse than Tara Duggan's The Working Cook: Fast and Fresh Meals for Busy People (Sterling, 2006). Hiram Grange is like all of we librarians; we're not anti-social, merely unsocial. When he gets—and fails—an assignment to assassinate someone who holds the key to the disintegration of the universe, a shitstorm follows. Lovecraftian James Bondsian MacGuyverian shenanigans follow. But the best bits feature bloated, slimy-tentacled beasts from The Abyss.
