Picked up two Laundry Files audios by Charles Stross with my Feb credits.
The Atrocity Archives
and The Apocalypse Codex. Lovecraft meets Procedural - love the protagonist, and his dry wit.

From Wikipedia
Quote:
A series of science fiction spy thrillers about Bob Howard (a pseudonym taken for security purposes), a one-time I.T. consultant, now field agent working for British government agency "the Laundry", which deals with occult threats. Influenced by Lovecraft's visions of the future, and set in a world where a computer and the right mathematical equations is just as useful a tool-set for calling up horrors from other dimensions as a spell-book and a pentagram on the floor.
Tor has several Laundry Files novellas online, if anyone wants to try them out. I read Equiod and was hooked. Haven't gotten to the other two (Overtime & Down on the Farm).
