The Lovecraft Mysteries

The Lovecraft Mysteries is a trilogy of pulp Cthulhu Mythos novels by American author Brandon Berntson, begun with The Night of Dagon in June 2018.
==Overview==
The series follows Devlin Macky, a private detective operating out of the city of Innsport, and his secretary/love interest Millie Von Clydesburgh, as they tackle the various supernatural threats which come their way.
Exactly when the series is set is not stated, although references to Creature from the Black Lagoon and the films of Humphrey Bogart, along with fashion and automobile styles, would seem to suggest that it takes place in the mid-to-late 1950s.
Although The Lovecraft Mysteries uses people, places and entities from the Cthulhu Mythos, these are often adapted to a greater or lesser extent; for example, the Arkham depicted in Arkham: Reanimated is very different to the one depicted in Lovecraft’s fiction, being little more than a village which has fallen to degeneracy.

* In the world of The Lovecraft Mysteries, both H. P. Lovecraft and Weird Tales exist. Lovecraft is, as is often the case with his fictional appearances, implied to have written his stories about real beings and events, although how he came to possess that knowledge is left unexplained in this instance.
