Thank you to the author for providing a review copy. 

I absolutely loved House of Smarba when I read it last year, so I jumped at the chance to read this novella. It did not disappoint. The cosmic horror/found footage/police procedural format really did it for me. The Black Book offers a cool twist on a very classic cosmic trope, and I enjoyed every fast-paced seconds of it. 4.5 stars
