![]() ![]() If at any point during this preamble you were thinking, hey, this reads like a kinky X Files episode – put it from your mind. Two FBI agents Lamper and Brears are investigating Aldo Sax (who we met back in The Courtyard, you’ll remember) and find themselves on the trail of one Johnny Carcosa (the veiled individual we met in, you’ve guessed it, The Courtyard) – who evades them (in a tres spooky scene involving a wall mural we previously glimpsed in…) leaving curious sex toys as clues in his wake – sex toys that Lamper and Brears trace to a shop in Salem. Neonomicon is (arguably) the second book in a loose trilogy (there is no indication of a relationship between this book and either The Courtyard or Providence, at least on the edition I have) and (also arguably, given a good case for From Hell) up there with the nastiest of Moore’s books (although there are parts of Providence that give Neonomicon a good run for its money). ![]() ![]() At The Store, one-stop shopping has become last-stop shopping.īill Davis is the only one in town who senses the evil lurking within The Store.
