From the back of the book.

Comic book legend Alan Moore (WATCHMEN, FROM HELL) and brilliant artist Jacen Burrows deliver a chilling tale of Lovecraftian horror! Brears and Lamper, two young and cocky FBI agents, investigate a fresh series of ritual murders somehow tied to the final undercover assignment of Aldo Sax ?the once golden boy of the Bureau, now a convicted killer and inmate of a maximum security prison. From their interrogation of Sax (where he spoke exclusively in inhuman tongues) to a related drug raid on a seedy rock club rife with arcane symbols and otherworldly lyrics, they suspect that they are on the trail of something awful? but nothing can prepare them for the creeping insanity and unspeakable terrors they will face in the small harbor town of Innsmouth. NEONOMICON collects Alan Moore?s 2010 comic book series for the first time in its entirety ? including his original story, THE COURTYARD, which chronicled Aldo Sax?s tragic encounter with the (somewhat) mortal agents of the Old Ones!

If you are a fan of Moore or Lovecraft I suggest picking it up. It comes with a prologue called The Courtyard.

I don't want to spoil anything, but I will warn you... If you are uncomfortable with sexual imagery or rape, I don't recommend it. This book shook me to my core. Some really messed up stuff goes on but I'm glad I read it. Moore seems to really understand what makes Lovecraft stories so horrifying.
