Another solid but otherwise unexciting addition to the Arkham Horror universe.
Nice to see some of the background characters from the game universe get some page time.

Has all the charisma of the back of a box of Frosted Mini Wheats.
I buy these novellas for the special cards for Arkham Horror the living card game but I felt guilty having books in my house that I hadn't read. After reading The Dirge of Reason I feel totally fine leaving the rest of the novellas unread.
The writing feels, somehow, both stilted and extraordinarily verbose. Entire paragraphs, entire PAGES, were extraneous and repetitive. They felt like nothing more than filler. All in all, I think this novella could have been chopped down to a 20 page short story.

This was a fun read. It seemed like an episode of The X-Files, but with more shotguns.
