The Taklamakan Skull

From small-town tragedy to earth-shattering adventure Dr. Jonathan Drake, Pataphysician, takes on a two-fisted supernatural mystery.

Disgraced humanities professor, Jonathan Drake, is enjoying his life as an occult shop owner and part-time detective when a bizarre case is dropped in his lap. Unfortunately, his partner, Pearl White, decides it's time for the pair to expand the shop, The Imaginarium, and for her to take a larger role in the consultancy end of the biz. Throw into this Chicago Detective Henry Modine, family troubles, an old friend turned enemy, Eduard Zhoutai, along with a motley crew of psychopaths and reality takes a nosedive into the pataphysical end of the pool.

The science of imaginary solutions (pataphysics) may be the only hope of solving the terrifying mystery of The Taklamakan Skull before the Fourth Axis takes center stage in a new apocalyptic two-step.

Join Jonathan, Pearl, and Henry as they race through this occult mystery toward a dark confrontation in a Ukrainian cemetery. The Taklamakan Skull is book 1 of The Pataphysician.
