Escape from Yokai Land is an ordinary day in the life of Bob Howard, aka The Eater of Souls. Japan has requested assistance with a rising tide of extraplanar entities, and whatever happened last time with Angleton in Japan pissed a whole bunch of people off.

A very jetlagged Bob has to meet with his Japanese counterpart, deal with diplomacy and minor monsters, and then face an entity which is pink and cute and has grown fat on the worship of millions of children, and if it gets just a little stronger will turn into a kaiju that'll stomp Tokyo.


And you shall have a Dread Queen

So hey, it's The Laundry, it not a top rank story, but it's better than some of the middle ones. Decent novella for completionists.
