The Tindalos Asset by Caitlín R. Kiernan
4.0
A retired agent is abruptly dragged back into active duty. A follower of Dagon is hard at work ending the world. There's a hound on the loose. All in a day's work for the Agents of Dreamland.
The Hounds of Tindalos are one of my favorite cosmic horror concept; creatures that get at you through aspects of the physical world that are difficult but not impossible to control. I wasn't sure what I'd think about a story where the hounds were an 'asset' so to speak, but I think this story made it work. There is plenty of build-up around the main threat and while there are timejumps like in the last part of this series, I found the ones in this story to be easier to see the point of, so to speak. An interesting read.
