In a remote town, tenacious local detective Esther investigates a series of peculiar disappearances. When all her leads hit a dead end, she gets partnered with Special Agent Henry from the big city, who sees this case as the stepping stone in his career.
While they struggle to put their differences aside, new evidence comes to light, hinting at the involvement of a strange cult that is trying to summon an ancient deity. As they delve into the dark corners of the town, the oddities keep mounting, and they soon find themselves amidst the horrors they never knew existed.
Can Esther and Henry unravel the mystery behind the sinister Order of Dagon and stop its malign plot? Or will they perish when faced with the evil that has festered for generations, and the King of the Deep will rise, bringing peril to the entire human race?
This chilling tale blends Lovecraftian terror, psychological suspense, and visceral body horror.
Writing means everything to me. It is my past, present, and future. Creating new worlds and characters gives meaning and color to my life. Seeing them overcome the darkest perils puts a smile on my face, and seeing their sorrow and pain brings tears to my eyes. By making my works public, I hope to convey these emotions and the sense of wonder to everyone who comes by my tiny imprint in this boundless universe. So, if you are willing, join me on this journey through the lands between. Through underground depths and murky streets. Through dark woods and endless oceans. Where brave heroes arise and anguished spirits perish. Where through the struggle, even the most unremarkable beings can challenge the will of the mad gods. Join me on the journey through the meandering pathways of my mind.
Hated it. Finished it cause I hate not finishing books. Will appeal to certain fans. I adore Lovecraft (have read everything that has been published to my knowledge) and cosmic horror, but this felt forced. More like the author had their own idea, but couldn’t think of their own monsters/villains. Felt more like a 45min monster of the week tv episode. Again will appeal to some, but I hated it.
I really wanted to like this, but the cognitive dissonance was real. Either set your novel in a fantasy setting and have fantasy elements or set your novel on Earth and have modern elements, but for God's sake don't put a Cadillac in a fantasy world.
