I Am Providence by Nick Mamatas

I Am Providence is one necronomicon of antrhopodermic bibliopegy to die for!

What better setting for a murder mystery than the Summer Tentacular Lovecraftian Convention in Providence, RI. And who could make a better murder victim at the writers convention than Cosmic Horror writer, Panossian, whose face is skinned on site for potential book cover design! What’s more, Panossian gets to tell much of the story – after he’s dead and battling the dissolution of his consciousness as he tries to remember who killed him. Horror writer Colleen Danzig also sleuths her way through the narrative in her attempt to solve the crime and spare herself from the Lovecraftian cabal that permeates every sentence of the book. Great read, this one. Infused with all the lore and legend that so many find alluring in the Lovecraft legacy, but you really don’t need to be versed in all of that to appreciate this one for the intriguing murder-mystery that it is.
