This has “Scorpion Stare” vibes.

Here's my latest #laundryverse diorama - science fiction writer @cstross series of urban fantasy books, named after "The Laundry", a version of Mi5 which deals with the occult and eldritch horrors from beyond space time. This one is called "Emissaries of BLUE HADES".

The Deep Ones, AKA BLUE HADES, are taking an interest in what is happening on the earth’s surface as the stars align and have despatched some specialists to discuss options before they destroy all land based life.

A thread...

In Auld Reekie to pick up a copy of the latest Laundryverse novel by @cstross from Transreal Fiction. It would be rude to not pop into the Guildford Arms for lunch...

This sounds like a headline that a Londoner of the #laundryverse would just ho-hum to and move on to the stock market news. 🤷‍♂️ I'm sure @cstross has toyed with the idea (or something close to it) in his worldbuilding (the white violin aside).

Here is another #laundryverse #scalemodel #diorama, this time featuring many of our favourite female characters from @cstross’ Laundry Files and New Management urban fantasy series. The diorama is called “Regrouping on the Ghost Roads” and shows the characters parked up and taking a break in an abandoned temple while conducting a mission on the Ghost roads: inter-dimensional passages which tend to create pocket universes.

I’ve done another #laundryverse model diorama, this time with Pinky and the Brain. Our queer heroes in @cstross’s epic series have been despatched to deal with an incursion by what is presumed to be a Lovercraftian horror, but which turns out to be a pansexual, hypergendered deity. The Nazi Abwehr’s paranormal intelligence force sought to exploit it in world war 2.
