Agents of Dreamland by Caitlin R. KiernanThe Signalman is waiting in Winslow, Arizona for Immacolata Sexton to arrive. They each work for unnamed agencies and are coming together to exchange information. Members of a cult were found dead in a house near the Salton Sea and it is the manner of their deaths, and what it might foretell, that has these two agents on edge.
The X-Files meets chthonic lore in this darkly atmospheric novella. Chapters bop back in forth in time and things are never what they seem to be on the surface. If you need a quick shot of something off-kilter go for this one, I couldn’t put it down.
