A review by paulataua
Agents of Dreamland by Caitlín R. Kiernan

3.0

A eighties film foretelling the future, a mysterious agent that travels through time, another who works for a dark organization, an invading force from the far end of the solar system, and cult followers turning themselves into fruiting bodies - a few of the wonders to be found in this novella. The writing is beautiful, jam-packed with metaphors and similes, and stuffed with references to literature, philosophy, and culture. It’s a joy to read. The only negative is that when I finished it and had no idea what I had just read. WTF! Just too clever by half.
