    Title: A Colder War
    Author: Charles Stross
    Rating: M
    Genre: General
    DLP Category: Other Fandoms - HP Lovecraft
    Status: Oneshot
    Summary: No official summary
    Link: http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/stories/colderwar.htm

    Two words: Weaponised Cthulu. It's basically a short story about what would happen if the Soviet Union got its hands on Cthulhu and turned it into a weapon, from the POV of a CIA intelligence operative. Found it on TVTropes.org and am still feeling kinda scared by it >_>.

    Another two words describe this: Fucking Epic.

    Sweet.

    I can't wait to read this--Charlie Stross is one of my favorite speculative fiction authors.

    Thanks for the link!

    Fucking incredible.

    It makes me oh so glad that this is fiction. Now I'm going to crawl back into my bed and watch something happy.

    Isn't it the King in Yellow who will visit you in your dreams?

    Or is that the Herald?
