The internet's most charismatic mystic says the things beyond our world have noticed us. He also says Ellen Logan will be his queen.

A few months after the horrors beneath Miskatonic University, a routine ghost hunt goes wrong: a faceless nightgaunt almost kills Ellen, and a man is found impaled on the roof of the haunted house she’s investigating. The next day, an internet celebrity named Solomon Reye takes the stage at a campus assembly and suggests he is responsible for the attack.

When Ellen’s friend Martha is kidnapped by the same creature, Ellen and Professor Andrew Carter follow its trail to the New Jersey Pine Barrens. There, they discover that the wall between worlds has grown thin. On the other side lies the Dreamlands, where Carter can’t follow.

Her only ally? Carter’s grandfather Randolph, who wants nothing to do with her.

Bigger, stranger and more dangerous than Darkness Below, Thin Places carries the Shadows of Miskatonic series from campus horror to cosmic horror.
