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.
