Black Helicopters by Caitlín R. Kiernan

3.0

 An agent is meeting with another, who may or may not be a turncoat for a rival organization. A woman is stuck battling monsters on an island. Her twin is in the hands of a psychologist with few scruples who she might be working with or might be the prisoner of. It's all quite a fine mess.

I kinda enjoyed this story, and then again, I kinda didn't. There are a lot of jumps back and forth in time and a ton of references I'm not sure I understood - I think I caught all the lovecraftian ones, but there are far more historical and pop cultural ones that likely went way over my head. That took me out of trying to figure out the story, so to speak. I did enjoy the story's twist.
