The Oddjobs series by Heide Goody and Iain Grant has been described as “Men in Black meets Pacific Rim.” The books follow Morag Murray, who works for a secret government organization responsible for ensuring the apocalypse goes as smoothly and as quietly as possible. When she angers the wrong alien god, she gets transferred to a new city where she still has to deal with man-eating starfish, supernatural murders, and mountains of paperwork.
The series runs six books and mixes cosmic horror with the deadpan absurdity of office life. The real threat is rarely the Lovecraftian monsters — it is the bureaucracy that surrounds them.
