About the author
Byron Craft
24 books27 followersIt was decided that the best person to tell you about Byron Craft and “THE ALCHEMIST’S NOTEBOOK” project would be me…Byron Craft.
“THE ALCHEMIST’S NOTEBOOK” was originally a movie that was in preproduction several years ago titled, “The Cry of Cthulhu.” Unfortunately the project, like many good intentions, never came to fruition. My concept was an all new Cthulhu Mythos story to be put on film that would have done H.P. Lovecraft proud. At the time, there had been several poor attempts to place Lovecraft and his dreaded Necronomicon on the big screen. I had a notion to make an exciting, plus mind-boggling, Cthulhu movie that had the look and feel as if Lovecraft had stood behind the camera.
“THE ALCHEMIST’S NOTEBOOK” embodies the same vision in a literary format. I have endeavored to pen this Cthulhu Mythos novel as it may have been done if H.P. Lovecraft were alive in the 21st century. Nevertheless, “THE ALCHEMIST’S NOTEBOOK” consists of three separate narratives that link together a single story, where when one account leaves off, the other continues leading you, the reader, through a terrifying Lovecraftian web of mystery, horror and apocalyptic doom.
I have been known to refer to this work as “THE ALCHEMIST’S NOTEBOOK PROJECT,” because it is the first in a five novel mythos series dealing with mankind’s internal, as well as, outward struggle to control his own destiny while encountering malicious beings from another time and space.
I hope you will enjoy, in addition to being scared stiff, the first of my five part series…“THE ALCHEMIST’S NOTEBOOK.”
Cthulhu Lives!

How can an entire town disappear, not just physically but also with every trace of it having existed wiped out of the records?
Returning from a mission, which involves a large-scale shootout with fishmen and escalates from there our hero finds his entire home town has vanished – but who better to find the missing place than a man literally known as the Arkham Detective? We are in 1937 and the period details is lavish as always. The Detective, older and maybe wiser, is still the eternal wisecracking gumshoe, always ready with his fists or a gun as the occasion demands.
And the case is a doozy, with evidence literally vanishing before his eyes …something eldritch is in the works and it’s a race against time to tracking down witnesses before they also cease to exist. There are monsters to be fought and cosmic forces to be reckoned with, not to mention whisky (good and bad) to be downed.
Entertaining Lovecraftian pulp as always in this series.
