A young man in the 20s in New York dabbles in the occult underground, gets sucked in, clashes with police much of it driven by the color of his skin.

I came expecting some whiff of the Mountains of Madness and instead got a story about racism and police violence. There are a lot of the elements expected of a story of the Cthulu universe but it lacked the existential horror I was looking for.

I felt a distinct anachronism of period setting and modern themes which is probably the main reason this story did not click for me.
