The Night of Dagon: A Horror Mystery (The Lovecraft Mysteries Book 1) Kindle Edition

When Devlin Macky stole the Silver Bluebell from the Natural History Museum, he got far more than he bargained for.

Mordred Haddonfield wasn't the most benevolent employer. The man was evil. Macky knew that, but he also needed the money.

The Bluebell was more than a priceless artifact. It was a summoning device, and Haddonfield wanted to use it to resurrect a cosmic, ancient evil - buried for more than two thousand years.

Dagon . . .

Haddonfield was the monster's disciple, but he also wanted to be its master, and the Bluebell gave him the opportunity to carve his place in history.

Can Macky stop a towering, hungry leviathan from the deep and a madman at the same time?

Or is the entire city of Innsport and the rest of civilization doomed?

Editorial Reviews

Review

Read what Amazon and Goodreads are saying:

"This is an outstanding book, with a great buildup and lots of snappy come-backs. I thoroughly enjoyed the main character, with his Bogart-like personality (and seemingly conscious imitation thereof). I binge-read the whole thing and now waiting for the next one. Well done!"

"What a unique story. The characters were amusing. Each page get more interesting. If you enjoy Sci Fi, then this is the story!"

"I like Lovecraft but a lot of the new books are collections of short stories (like Lovecraft, I know! ), so anytime a novel comes out I have to check it out. This was a good book and I will read book 2 when available!"

"The Night of Dagon is a classic pulp/noir/monster tale. An avante-garde in that it makes no reference to an obvious time period while still talking about trench coats, fedoras, old cars, various bagels with all kinds of cream cheese, and big band music. I found it Night of Dagon entertaining, comical, and a little creepy. A good blend and a great thrill ride! Looking forward to more of the Lovecraft Mysteries!"

"Really liked this book, lots of good twists, great story and characters, hard to put down, would definitely recommend!"

"I have just finished reading The Night of Dagon. I have to say that I absolutely loved this book! The dialogue was engaging and the blend of genres were all that I happen to love. I was caught up in a "I can't but this down," story that carried me on a terrific ride. If you like classic horror and myths and legends then you will most likely enjoy this book. I am an avid H.P Lovecraft fan and this his all of the points I needed. Thank you Mr. Berntson. I look forward to more books in this series. This has also made me want to read more of your work. I look forward to any new work that you publish!"

All three books in this Lovecraft Mysteries series take the reader through a nerve-wracking adventure with some light-hearted instances worthy of a film noir treatment on the silver screen! I enjoyed being taken through some really imaginative rabbit holes with cliff-hanging endings that always left a smile on my face!
Bottoms up, BB!!!

More mystery than horror, this author does a decent job of telling a story that keeps you turning pages, and has stayed true to the mythos. Not as exciting as Lovecraft himself, but still well done. Worth the Kindle price; maybe not so much for the print version.

I loved this book, any fan of Lovecraft would. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to someone that has either never read cosmic horror or doesn't like the genre because you need to know what you're getting into and you need to enjoy it. I had fun, I enjoyed the ride.

5.0 out of 5 stars A comedic noir story
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2021

Although not as engaging as Hill Haven Creeps, it still held my attention. Written in the style of 1950's film noir, I kept rooting for the main characters. Private Detective is hired by crazy old (& rich) man to steal an artefact from a museum. P.I. does so because he believes the story he's been spun. The rest of the book is the P.I. trying to undo the harm he has caused. A good read.

Dev needed money, this job would tide him over for a little while. He never in a million years thought something this unbelievable would happen to him. Millie his secretary was steadfast and in love with him. This book woke me up keep me reading until if I hadn't been turning pages, I would have been chewing my fingers. Fast, gritty, humor, love and monsters all wrapped in one.
