Set in Brooklyn, this story follows an investigation into occult practices and strange disappearances in a grimy, crime-ridden district. As supernatural forces stir beneath the surface, a detective finds himself entangled in a web of ritual and horror. Though controversial for its xenophobic tone, the story showcases Lovecraft’s urban horror and fascination with hidden cults. It’s a chaotic, intense descent into the darkest corners of the city.
