What do flesh-eating cell phones, brain-enhancing tacos, and a real live dead foot have in common?
They’re all tools in the destruction of our world, and a weapons-grade team of heavily-armed Miskatonic University nerds may be humanity’s last hope.
Something is ripping holes in the Veil of energy that separates our world from that of the ancient evils writhing just beyond what we think is reality. Time is running out for Professors Derrick LeStrand, Howard Strauss and their team of researchers as they race to hunt down a mysterious Frenchman who wields Necromantic Death Magic unlike anything they’ve seen before.
Tearing open psychological wounds from Derrick’s past, the cabalistic sorcerer is gathering ancient icons of power to pierce the Veil and bring down the only thing shielding mankind from the relentless horrors beyond.
If they fail, the only questions that will remain are who will live in servitude to the Great Old Ones and who will die…and who will supply Derrick with tacos?
Set against the backdrop of a world where H.P. Lovecraft was not a fiction writer, but a Sweep, a special operative trained to protect the collective sanity of the human race with misinformative blends of fact and fiction … where the Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual is little more than a slightly skewed Audubon Field Guide, and the monster movies you grew up with are more documentary than not.
It's Lovecraftian Lethal Weapon cranked to eleven!
Cover painting for Madness in the Void!
This collection will include a novella that is a tie-in to Piercing the Veil where the predominant action takes place in the 1920s while HP Lovecraft was working as a Sweep for the DCV.
Full Novella now a paperback and ebook!
Brian Lockwood was raised in fear, and drowned in guilt over his mother’s suicide.
When he loses his job, his life takes a sharp, dark and violent turn.
But, things may not be at all what they seem–they may be far, far worse!
