A review by stephenmeansme
Agents of Dreamland by Caitlín R. Kiernan

3.0

2.5 stars rounded up. I like the idea, but I'm not completely sure about Kiernan's style here. She seems to be going for a postmodern thing, using a blizzard of cliches, and I worry it might be a bit too much. It makes most of the characters' voices seem a bit too samey. It feels like padding in other places.

I will keep reading, probably her short story collection DEAR SWEET FILTHY WORLD, before I come to a firmer judgment. Still, I think this is proof that writing "the weird" is damned hard.
