Charlie, being a good egg, has even put his novella "The Concrete Jungle", part of the Archives setting, online under a Creative Commons license. Enjoy.

Stross is good. I gave him a nice plug in my Weird War II Sources thread. I may well go ahead and crib elements of 'The Laundry.' They are described as the sole survivor of the SOE, which works well with other things I have in mind. Stross's tone isn't exactly what I'm shooting for, but I liked the book and 'The Laundry' might be a good template.

Another thing I will definitely use from The Atrocity Archive is some of the creative and well-articulated rationale Stross uses for having supernatural entities in his setting.
