Description
When Arkham Advertiser reporter Andy van Nortwick receives a mysterious film reel in the mail, with a simple note: “Maude Brion is very much alive!”, he steps onto a path which will lead him to the brink of madness. Brion, the famous actress and film director, vanished a year ago on an ill-fated expedition into the Amazon rainforest, delving into the legend of the Spider Queen. Thrilled by the prospect of his big break, Nortwick swings the funds to launch a rescue mission. He gathers a team of explorers and a keen folklorist to bring back Brion and cement his reputation. But deep in the Amazon jungle, the boundaries between intrepid adventurers, dreamers, and deranged fanatics blur inside a web of terror.

Advance Praise
“Superbly written, deftly plotted, and imbued with Sidor’s absolutely phenomenal imagination and inherent understanding of the decaying, sumptuous décor of Jazz Age Arkham that hides a terrifying underside, The Last Ritual is one of the most enjoyable and memorable occult horror thrillers that I have read in a long time.”
– SciFi and Fantasy Reviewer
“As unsettling and disturbing as anything that Lovecraft himself wrote… a complex, gripping roller coaster ride.”
– Amazing Stories
“Sidor is a prince of darkness, steeped in the noir tradition and not giving an inch. He is also bountifully talented.”
– Kirkus Reviews
“A master of the unsettling, and each twist is more grisly and unexpected than the last.”
– Publishers Weekly starred review
