This is exactly what I want a TV adaptation of Charles Stross' The Laundry Files to look and sound like.

The worst thing about having an unnameable, unimaginable eldritch horror in your basement, is that they usually gum up the sump pump pretty good.

Then you've got to deal with water damage, and mold, and such- all your wards start to peel off the walls the first time it rains, and usually you have to pay a contractor just to come in and take a look at it.

And that's assuming it doesn't undermine your foundation entirely and send your rec-room down into some endless, nameless abyss.

At least he was able to get a meeting - usually when a place is tainted by madness and horror, the officials just pretend it doesn't exist. I had a hell of a time getting anything to show up on my doorstep after I moved into the old Crowninshield place.

Read any good books lately?

As has been noted by others, this must be what it's like to study at Miskatonic. Literally everyone has read the Necronomicon. I remember the HP Lovecraft Literary Podcast describing it as "being passed around like a dog-eared copy of The Lovely Bones".

From the same show: "What you eating?" "An epiphany continuum. Fae the supermarket."

Just noticed that this is eponysterical, weird fiction-wise.

I swear this is a double, but can't track it down. Either way, I larfed both times I watched it.
