Tomb of the Black Pharaoh by Christopher Michael

The Nazis believe they have found a way to see the future. The price is human blood.

Egypt, 1941. A mysterious SS archaeological expedition dispatched by Himmler vanishes into the untamed desert.

Haunted by his experiences beyond the Mountains of Madness, Robert Danforth is recruited by America’s fledging intelligence to uncover the expedition’s goals and motives. His investigation takes him from wartime Cairo to hidden tombs and cities across Egypt and Arabia, where kidnapped innocents are to be sacrificed in a ritual older than civilization.

The closer Danforth comes to the answers, the more a mysterious power reaches into his dreams. It reveals visions no man should witness. It knows his worst fears. It offers answers to every mystery and piece of forbidden knowledge that haunts him—but at a horrifying price.

If the SS succeeds, no Allied secret will remain hidden, and the course of the war may be decided before the next battle begins.

Some conflicts are driven by the desire for power and territory.

This battle will be fought for the very future of humanity.

Description

“A Must-Read for Fans of Cosmic Horror. Christopher Michael’s Tomb of the Black Pharaoh is a triumph of storytelling, blending cosmic horror, historical intrigue, and psychological depth into an unforgettable narrative. Fans of H.P. Lovecraft and other purveyors of the macabre will find much to admire in this chilling tale of ambition and obsession. Whether you’re drawn to tales of eldritch gods, historical espionage, or the struggles of the human psyche, this book has something to offer. Its richly detailed world, compelling characters, and thought-provoking themes ensure that it will linger with readers long after the final page.”—Monique Snyman, Bram Stoker Award–winning author of The Night Weaver, The Bone Carver, and the Dark Country series

“There are some good books that have elements of Lovecratian horror, but this was the first book I have read that truly captures the atmosphere and vibe of Lovecraft’s original works. From start to finish I loved this book, and it deserves a place on your shelf next to Eldritch standards like The Ballad of Black Tom. Christopher Michael is a writer I will be following closely from here on out!”—Jack Finn, Award-winning author of Prey Upon the Lambs
