Über diesen Titel
A novel in the tradition of H.P. Lovecraft
Vast and Chaotic Demon Gods in dark worlds hunger to enter our Reality. Their coming will mean our extinction.
What if you were forced to believe in the unbelievable?
The fabric of reality is thin in some places.
The FBI assigned agent Garret to investigate the strange murder of an entire family in the small town of Holden. That case was just the beginning. Ian Crane lived in Holden, and he had been psychically sensitive all of his life.
All Garret wished to do was to solve the case, and get the bad guys, but the Killers were faceless, and they were committing the murders as part of some insane ritual. Ian felt a darkness coming, and he knew that it would be the end of all things if they could not stop it.
Garret knew that to catch a killer, you have to think like a killer, but nothing about the motivations for the crimes made any human sense, and strange things were starting to happen everywhere. Ian felt a vast mind coming closer, and he knew that the closer it came, the more the world would change.
Garret did not believe in the supernatural, but the world was changing around him in dark and twisted ways. He knew that the Killers believed in a coming dark god. Could he hold onto his humanity in the inhuman world they were bringing?
Somehow, Garret, Ian, and four of their friends must find a way to defeat the coming Shadow and its disciples, before our fragile world was transformed into an alien hell.

Show, dont tell.
I never noticed how true that saying was until now.
The main character is a cringy and overly heroic manly man leader guy and most of the "side characters" are uninteresting and submissive yes sayers.
1. The way its written is very much "tell but don't show". Making it boring to listen to.
E.g.: "He thought that guy X is untrustworthy and works against them".
Even though X didn't do anything bad up to that point (only later)
Instead of somehow showing us hes evil, everything is communicated in a weirdly forced "in your face" kinda way.
2. People constantly pull convenient items out of nowhere. Keep in mind, the story plays in a small city in a semi apocalyptic state.
Its just way too convenient and makes little sense to be able to randomly grab multiple hazmat suits, unlimited amounts of guns/ammo, swords(??) or even a freaking flamethrower out of nowhere.
Like what? Where did you get a flamethrower and unlimited fuel in this situation? Is that an American thing ?
But i gotta say i really rolled my eyes when the manly man leader guy phoned a random military general (who conveniently owed him a favor) to send in a freaking nuclear strike missile on a target. Obliterating an old one without any problems whatsoever. While being able to stay in a close proximity of this nuclear blast as if it was a normal air strike. I could go on.
Despite my rant, the story is okay-ish. The writing is just cliche and generic.
