Missing in Miskatonic: A Travis Daniels Investigation by JP Behrens is a supernatural thriller novella with horror elements that cleverly combines the Lovecraftian monstrous myth and hard-boiled detective genre and turns them upside down from the start. Travis Daniels is a private detective who gets sucked in a carefully entangled and gut-wrenching dark web of intrigue, calamitous secrets, and crime when he is hired by a suspicious and eerie looking stranger to work on a case of a missing girl. His extensive search soon leads him to Arkham, a city in New England, where nothing is as it seems from the beginning. Travis is forced to navigate the world of ancient rituals, secret societies, such as Silver Twilight Lodge, and their sinister agenda, as well as numerous obstacles put in his way, including the unfriendly inhabitants of the city that is wreathed in fog and mystery.
In Missing in Miskatonic, JP Behrens effortlessly creates an imaginative space full of depraved human and inhuman monsters, which pierces the thin veil that holds the boundary between reality and fiction together. The atmosphere of hopelessness and terror that lingers around every dark corner affects both the main characters and readers. Detective Travis Daniels’ character is impressively human in the great expanse of monstrosity, which fits well with the story premise. Readers will find themselves in the heart of the narrative, surrounded by unimaginable horrors, dwelling on the pages of this novella. The book promises nothing short of a terrifyingly good time while reading this detailed, exciting, and dreadful adventure of cosmic horror and human brutality.
