What if Rhode Island horror writer H.P. Lovecraft didn\u2019t just imagine the \u201cresonator\u201d in his 1920 short story \u201cFrom Beyond\u201d? What if Henry Annesley actually built the machine that allowed him to see into the Sixth Dimension -\u2013 and allowed creatures from The Other Side to invade us here?<\/p>\n

Facing Draconian prison sentences, their Cthulhian Church banned by the federal drug warriors for employing holy sacraments that actually work, Windsor and Worthington Annesley turn to a desperate search for their great-uncle\u2019s resonator, hoping it may be the game-changer they need.<\/p>\n

Does the secret lie in a lost Lovecraft notebook? Can rare book dealers Matthew Hunter and Chantal Stevens find it in time? If they do, the Annesley Brothers vow to finally ask the question that victims of the Drug War have been waiting a hundred years to hear:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat if they fought a War on Drugs . . . and someone fought back?\u201d<\/p>\n

From the author of \u201cThe Testament of James\u201d comes another adventure from the case files of Matthew Hunter and Chantal Stevens, complete with rampaging tyrannosaurs, naked jungle girls, man-eating spiders, and some seriously heavy drugs . . . \u201cThe Miskatonic Manuscript.\u201d<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deep in the Nevada desert, in a hidden mansion full of old books and vintage clothes, guarded by four-and-a-half anthropomorphic cats and a family of Attack Roadrunners, Vin Suprynowicz went cold turkey from a 40-year newspaper career. They said he\u2019d never write anything over a thousand words, again. But with the help and encouragement of the Brunette and a few close friends, he came back. With \u201cThe Testament of James,\u201d he proved them wrong. Now comes the second drug-enhanced adventure of Matthew Hunter and Chantal Stevens, \u201cThe Miskatonic Manuscript.\u201d In an earlier life, Vin wrote \u201cSend in the Waco Killers,\u201d \u201cThe Ballad of Carl Drega,\u201d and the freedom novel \u201cThe Black Arrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

PRAISE FOR THE FIRST ENTRY IN THE SERIES,
\n\u2018THE TESTAMENT OF JAMES\u2019
\n<\/strong>
\n\u201cThe characters who populate the book are quirky, literate, cunning and engage in snappy, irreverent and amusing dialogue — from book dealer Matthew, who must keep patiently explaining why certain books cost more than they did when new, to pink pistol packing Chantal. . . . Even the cats have personalities.\u201d<\/p>\n

-\u2013 Thomas Mitchell, formerly The Editor, Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTestament\u2019s pace is anything but slow, proceeding like clever dinner conversation amongst your brightest friends. . . . Matthew Hunter has a love interest and partner in Chantal Stevens, characters who will continue their book sleuthing heroics in future installments. There\u2019s psilocybin use and cats with names like Mr. Cuddles and Tabbyhunter providing clues to impending danger. . . . The Testament of James is a quick, entertaining read to either remind you you\u2019re not crazy, or start you on a journey to truth and enlightenment.\u201d<\/p>\n

-\u2013 Doug French, banker, economist, student of Murray Rothbard
\n<\/em>
\n\u201cNow and then I see reviewers refer to a novel as a \u2018romp.\u2019 I don’t know that I’ve ever done so before, but I’ll do so now. . . . The pacing is perfect and the reader (this reader, anyway) is left both satisfied with the story and wanting more of the characters and of the world it happens in.\u201d<\/p>\n

— Thomas Knapp<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a mystery, this book works superbly. Its view of \u2018bookmen\u2019 (hunters, sellers, and collectors) is a delight.\u201d <\/p>\n

— John Walker, programming entrepreneur, co-founder of Autodesk

\n\u201cEntertaining, funny, and thought-provoking.”<\/p>\n
