Sinopse

THE CLEANSING 
 
Getting by after the end of the world is a real pain in the neck. 
Things would be much better for Kirby if wasn’t for those damn, pesky dims. 
Dims, or to be politically correct, the diminished intelligents, are just about the only remnants of mankind after a pandemic swept the world clean. The lucky victims died in the throes of the brain virus; the survivors are reduced to something with the intelligence of a thunderstruck cow. Turned loose by the collapse of society, dims are everywhere you look - especially when you don’t want them to be there. 
You could be a regular survivor. Untouched by the virus, (yippee!), you’d be some poor schmuck like Kirby left to survive on what few wits and fewer resources he has. Those resources are quickly diminishing thanks to a pack of dims that keep breaking into Kirby’s stuff. 
It doesn’t help that the dims are primarily in the neighborhood thanks to the old lady up the street that leaves food out for them. The dims would blow this soda pop stand if it wasn’t for her giving them a reason to stay – well, wait for Kirby to tell you his side of the story later. 
Long story somewhat shorter – life would be easier without those dims, wouldn’t it? 
Is it time for a cleansing or what?

    When your not so very departed great-great-aunt relies on her old belongings to cling to her particular form of spectral life force, what do you do when some of them come up for auction in Tuscany? 
     
     
     
    Travel to Italy, of course! 
     
     
     
    But what Genie Darling expected to be a smooth, if expensive operation, soon becomes a haunting experience. 
     
     
     
    The auction house goes up in flames, there's a dead body, and her great-great-aunt Adriana's evening gown from Chanel is a pile of ashes . . . or is it? 
     
     
     
    So much for la dolce vita. And when it looks like the wrong man will be suspected of arson and manslaughter, it's time for Genie and her merry ghost sidekick to sleuth again!

    Moving to the sleepy town of Havens Hallow, Massachusetts, during my senior year hadn't been part of my future plans. Not to mention the ancient house my father bought sits next to the creepiest place imaginable—a graveyard full of battered stone statues. It's a far cry from the upper-middle class neighborhood we left behind. 
     
     
     
    That wasn't the only thing I had to walk away from. My position as the star quarterback of my old team has now been replaced with a not-so-cozy spot on the sideline. With a football scholarship on the line, I can't afford to be benched. But my grades are in the trash and my mood is buried somewhere beneath the soil of my new personal nightmare. 
     
     
     
    I need help, and fast. August Sanders, a classmate in my new school, volunteers to tutor me. As much as my bruised ego hates it, I can't turn down the offer. 
     
     
     
    However, he forgot to mention a pretty important detail that sends shivers through every cell in my body. 
     
     
     
    August isn't a student. Not anymore. He's not even made of flesh and bone. And apparently I'm the only person who's been able to see him in more than three years.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
    The plot of the book is almost identical to the story presented in the first three sonnets of the Fungi from Yuggoth. In other words, the protagonist in a peculiar bookstore purchases a book of extraordinary and dangerous power for a paltry sum of money. 
    This is only a fragment of the story, likely written during the period when Lovecraft was experimenting with prose to improve his own texts.
