Condemned in Carcosa by JP Behrens

 

There are places into which darkness won’t follow you. Places where something worse is already waiting.

Still running, Travis and Leslie take shelter in a crumbling mansion deep in the woods. A place their pursuers won’t approach, which should be reassuring but isn’t.

The house has its own agenda. Its doors don’t open the way they came in. Its walls hold visions of the past that don’t stay past. And somewhere in its rooms, a journal describes a dinner party that ended in a way nobody wrote down.

The King in Yellow is patient. He has been patient for a very long time.

Travis Daniels has survived a cult, a wilderness, and his own unraveling sense of reality.

Condemned in Carcosa asks the question none of the previous cases did.

What if there’s no getting out of this one?

Description

“JP Behrens hard-boiled horror noir hybrids have found a home in my heart, the perfect blend of Dashiell Hammet and Algernon Blackwood, creating something akin to The Maltese Fhtagn. Whether it’s investigating cryptids or eldritch terrors, ghastly gumshoe Travis Daniels is the perfect cosmic combination of Philip Marlowe and Lovecraft. Tail this private dick through whichever novel he steps into next.”—Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes

“In Travis Daniels, author JP Behrens has crafted a witty detective who uncovers mysteries that conceal dangers both real and otherworldly, with all the Lovecraftian elements cosmic horror readers love. For those who want twists, magic, and social commentary, this series is for you.—Tamika Thompson, author of The Curse of Hester Gardens
