"A strong case can be made that The Color over Occam is the best Lovecraftian novel ever written, and one of the best weird novels of any kind written in the last half-century."-S. T. Joshi, The Rise, Fall, and Rise of the Cthulhu Mythos
Jeff Slater, a worker in the city government of Occam (the new name of Arkham, Massachusetts) is increasingly troubled by disturbing impurities in the Occam water supply-and even more disturbed by the apparent refusal of his superiors to investigate the matter. Slater, who is also an amateur paranormal sleuth, undertakes an increasingly harried and dangerous investigation that reveals unimaginable horrors, many of them taking place under the underground sewer system of this seemingly placid town.
Jonathan Thomas, a veteran author of Lovecraftian fiction, brings all the strengths of his writing-deft, loving charactgerisation; a complex, multi-layered plot; an ability to vivify his chosen setting, whether it be a teeming metropolis or the untenated wilderness; and, most of all, a pungently satirical, almost jaundiced view of human foibles and failings-to this novel of cataclysmic terror. While an avowed sequel to "The Colour out of Space," The Color over Occam creates an ambiance of dread that is distinctively the author's own.
Jonathan Thomas, a native and longtime resident of Providence, R.I., has written six short story collections, all published by Hippocampus Press. His collected Lovecraftian tales appeared from Centipede Press as Malign Providence (2022).
