Hi again Denizens of SF.written.
"Escape from yokai land" by Charles Stross.
This is a very brief story of the Laundry Files.
Angelton died some time back and Bob Howard
has taken over as the interface to the "Eater of
Souls". Angelton would have been sent to Japan
where the allied orgnization is dealing
with disturbing interventions. The Japanese
organization does not trust Bob because he
is new and gives him some smaller jobs before
he faces the oni which is being called by the
prayers of very young people as they visit
the amusement park Shrine of "Hello Kittie".
Bob escapes but this gives a forewarning
of the eventually fate of the Laundry which
will be overwhelmed by eldritch invasions.
My advice for Stross fans is to find it and
read it as it is very short.
