“Jeff Slater, a worker in the city government of Occam (the new name of Arkham, Massachusetts) is increasingly troubled by disturbing impurities in the Occam water supply—and even more disturbed by the apparent refusal of his superiors to investigate the matter. Slater, who is also an amateur paranormal sleuth, undertakes an increasingly harried and dangerous investigation that reveals unimaginable horrors, many of them taking place under the underground sewer system of this seemingly placid town. Jonathan Thomas, a veteran author of Lovecraftian fiction, brings all the strengths of his writing—deft, loving characterisation; a complex, multi-layered plot; an ability to vivify his chosen setting, whether it be a teeming metropolis or the untenanted wilderness; and, most of all, a pungently satirical, almost jaundiced view of human foibles and failings—to this novel of cataclysmic terror.” #73789
