The Crimson Awakening

Part of the Black Circle anthology

This tale follows the investigation and pursuit of an experienced private investigator Robert Sutton, a relentless and cocky man that is blind to the dangers of what he might be uncovering. He lists the exploits of the efforts to find a young woman by the name of Annabel Dawson. The letter is addressed to the authorities in case of his disappearance as he has stumbled upon a meeting of a long-dead cult and does not know if he will make it out alive. After the events of the moonlit night, his mind and his sanity no longer belong to himself. He fights with the realization of the details as best he can in a final letter addressed to anyone who would believe such an inconceivable tale of horror.
