Publisher's summary

Step into the shadowed streets of 1928 Arkham, where Miskatonic University holds secrets darker than the night.

In this supernatural thriller reminiscent of Raymond Chandler and H.P. Lovecraft, Private Detective Travis Daniels is thrust into a harrowing investigation when a young woman disappears without a trace. As Daniels delves deeper into the labyrinthine mysteries of the storied New England city, he uncovers a web of sinister cults, ancient rituals, and eldritch horrors that threaten not only his own sanity but the fabric of reality itself.

Set against a city steeped in occult lore and clandestine experiments, Missing in Miskatonic blends elements of hard-boiled detective fiction with chilling supernatural encounters. Daniels navigates treacherous alliances and confronts malevolent entities lurking in the shadows, all while racing against time to unravel the truth behind the girl's disappearance.

With a narrative that grips from the first minute, this novel combines suspense, mystery, and cosmic terror in a gripping tale where every clue leads deeper into the abyss. From the enigmatic corridors of Miskatonic to the eerie gatherings of the Silver Twilight Lodge, Daniels must confront his own demons as he battles forces beyond human comprehension.

Creepy cosmic horror …

This story read like a pulp detective story based in H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos and I loved it. The characters were interesting and fairly well developed for a shorter story. There were several twists and turns and a surprise ending I didn’t see coming. This was my first book by this author and it definitely won’t be my last.
I would recommend this book to fans of horror and detective stories and a must read for fans of cosmic horror.
I read along while listening to the audiobook.

Good Atmosphere

It was a fun throwback to the Cthulhu Mythos. I didn't give 5 star because I actually found the Easter Eggs of Lovecraft’s work to be almost too abundant. It sort of threw me for a loop when I would be into the story, and suddenly there's just a random plug of a Lovecraft story item. But those were made up for by the very fun pulp detective fiction and the cosmic horror. Very fun. The performance was not good. It was so robotic and monotonous that I sometimes turned off the Audiobook and just read the Kindle version. It definitely could have been better with a dramatization. Overall, lots of fun twists and turns.

Entertaining and exciting!
