Synopsis of Neonomicon
In this follow up, two agents, Lamper and Brears, are investigating the cases of the various murders, as a follow up to Aldo Sax, the narrator from the previous story, who’s now in a jail at a mental health prison and facility. He’s still talking a pseudo-language and they have a copycat killer out there right now on the loose.
They make a raid on the Club Zothique, and try to get Johnny Carcosa, but he flies, and they chase him to his place out on Court Street. His mother committed suicide, and he melts into the wall after telling the cops that he has to go.
The lead detective begins to put together the literary aspects of the case, club named after Clark Ashton Smith’s world, Carcosa from Bierce, the Yellow Sign, the popular singer Randolph Carter, the White Powder from Arthur Machen, and so forth. All of these details in real life are following from literature. Here at Red Hook, where the original case occurred in the 1920s, there is every connection to the writings of HP Lovecraft.
They follow a lead out to Salem to check out a store that sells porn and adult toys in the Cthulhu Mythos, and for fans, go undercover, and connect with the local populace. The male cop is killed, the female is repeatedly raped by a Deep One down in some orgy below the store they were at. After a while, they begin to connect, and the Deep One and her escape and head out, and she is released by it. SWAT team attacks, and destroys the group, and kills the Deep One underground in the shrine, and kills it too.
Afterwards, Merril Brears, the surviving agent, heads to see Aldo Sax again in custody. She speaks the aklo back to him. He gives her answers like Johnny Carcosa is an avatar of Nyarlathotep. She’s realized why the Deep One let her go. She;s pregnant with him and R’yleh is inside of her.
