Cosmic-Horror comes to the suburbs of 1950s America. An investigative report into the strange incident that resulted in the loss of life and disappearance of several people. Even though witnesses describe nightmarish monsters, things out of an HP Lovecraft tale attempting to enter our world through “holes in space”, the incident is largely unknown, covered up for decades. This report is a full account of the incident, the events preceding it, and the aftermath. A copy of the original hand-typed, mimeographed and crudely-assembled, roughly forty-page booklet. Fair warning: this is not a neatly put-together or even completely legible document.
But the discovery of the report itself is a mystery:
In 1987, the Thaxton Research Institute sent field agents to Memphis to investigate an anomaly known as The Final Incident.
The field agents vanished and were never seen again.
Thirty-eight years later, an algorithmic monitoring system found a coded message in the comments of a random Reddit post.
The coded message was: A bluebird murdered a bluebird in front of another bluebird.
The word Bluebird used three times in a sentence was the lost team’s code for extreme distress.
Three days later a second message gave the address of an industrial park abandoned since 1987, with instructions to look inside the office’s dead phone equipment. An agent was sent to the site and found the completed report in the casing of an abandoned phone system. The agent encountered either magnetic or electrical anomalies on site, and reported interference from an unidentified presence.
One of the few completely intact Thaxton Institute Reports that have been found, and the first to be reproduced and distributed without omissions or redactions.
