Detective Malone here, and I reckon it's about time I put down these events from a few years back. It's a tale I've been unable to shake from my mind since that cursed night in Red Hook, Brooklyn. I ain't been the same since, and I fear I never will be.

It all began with an incident that left me with a dread of towering buildings. A fear so intense, it shook me to my core. But to understand it all, you've got to go back to the beginning, to the foul streets and grimy alleys of Red Hook, a place where the darkness seemed to seep from every brick and cobblestone.

Red Hook, with its labyrinth of alleys, had always been a haven for the nefarious. Gangs ruled the streets, and crime was as common as the stench of decay that hung in the air. Yet, beneath the surface, there lurked a more sinister presence, an occult underbelly that festered in the shadows.

The case of Robert Suydam, that's what brought me to Red Hook. A shabby recluse, he was, but lately, he'd been seen about town, looking younger, more radiant, and that was when things began to take a turn for the worse. News spread like wildfire of his engagement to a well-to-do woman, coinciding with a sudden surge in local kidnappings.

Our raid on Suydam's flat yielded little. Just a few strange inscriptions that raised more questions than they answered. Then came the day of his wedding. Suydam and his bride boarded a ship, and it was there, amidst the vast expanse of the ocean, that horror struck. A scream shattered the tranquility of the ship, and when the crew burst into Suydam's stateroom, they found him and his bride dead, her body marked with claw-marks.

Later, strange men from another ship claimed Suydam's body. It was all too bizarre, too otherworldly to be a mere coincidence.

I returned to Suydam's flat, compelled to find answers. In the basement, I stumbled upon a door that seemed to beckon me, a door that broke open and sucked me into the abyss. What lay beyond was beyond the comprehension of mortal men. A hellish landscape, where unspeakable rituals were conducted, and human sacrifices made. I beheld a ritual that reanimated Suydam's corpse, and I knew then that I had stumbled upon something far more sinister than I could have ever imagined.

They found me in the basement, the flat inexplicably caved in above me, killing everyone else inside. The tunnels and chambers we uncovered were filled in and cemented, but as I recount these events, I know that the threat in Red Hook has not been vanquished. It lingers, waiting to emerge once more, and I fear that one day soon, it will...
