What’s most striking about The Sinking City, Frogware’s upcoming psychological detective thriller (coming out June 27, 2019), is its fictional Massachusetts town of Oakmont. It’s dripping and damp, misty and filthy. Men are losing their minds on the pier, in the dark bars, and abandoned houses. It’s a world ravaged by the Great War and its fallout, and creeping tentacled Lovecraftian horror that lurks.
You move through it as Charles Reed, a war veteran turned private eye trying to find a cure for his burgeoning insanity. As his mind begins to close in on him, it feels like Oakmont does too. The Sinking City is both a literal and figurative title: it’s surrounded by water and is slowly sinking (into madness).
