Dark Veil Society proudly announces the 25 September 2026 re-release of Christopher Michael’s WWII cosmic horror novel, Tomb of the Black Pharaoh, from Crystal Lake Publishing.

The Nazis believe they have found a way to see the future. The price is human blood.

Egypt, 1941. A mysterious SS archaeological expedition dispatched by Himmler vanishes into the untamed desert. Haunted by his experiences beyond the Mountains of Madness, Robert Danforth is recruited by America’s fledgling intelligence service to uncover the expedition’s goals and motives. His investigation takes him from wartime Cairo to hidden tombs and cities across Egypt and Arabia, where kidnapped innocents are to be sacrificed in a ritual older than civilization.

The closer Danforth comes to the answers, the more a mysterious power reaches into his dreams. It reveals visions no man should witness. It knows his worst fears. It offers answers to every mystery and piece of forbidden knowledge that haunts him—but at a horrifying price. If the SS succeeds, no Allied secret will remain hidden, and the course of the war may be decided before the next battle begins.

Some conflicts are driven by the desire for power and territory. This battle will be fought for the very future of humanity.

Christopher Michael is an author who specializes in blending historical fiction with cosmic horror. His book series, Danforth: Eldritch Tales of WWII, takes readers on a gripping journey through the shadows of World War II, as his protagonist battles both ancient horrors and Nazi occult conspiracies. With a talent for weaving suspense and atmosphere, Christopher creates immersive narratives that captivate fans of supernatural fiction and historical thrillers alike. His unique storytelling style brings to life the chilling intersection of real-world conflict and eldritch terror, offering readers a fresh and compelling take on Lovecraftian horror.
