If you loved how Dr. Willett sifted through Charles’s letters, Curwen’s records, and newspaper snippets to decode the Pawtuxet horrors, you’ll relish the way Dracula assembles journals, ship logs, and telegrams into a tightening net around the Count. That same creeping dread—born from paper trails and testimony—builds as surely as the “essential saltes” clues did under the Providence streets.

The way Ward’s tale spirals back into Joseph Curwen’s secret history—until the past swallows the present—finds a powerful echo in The Fisherman. A seemingly simple grief-haunted fishing trip unfolds into an embedded legend of Dutchman’s Creek and a sorcerer’s abyssal bargains, much like how Curwen’s buried narrative rewrites everything Dr. Willett thinks he knows beneath Providence.

If the clandestine tunnels, crypt laboratories, and clandestine summonses in Providence hooked you, The Ballad of Black Tom tracks similar occult currents through 1920s New York. As detectives and occultists circle Tommy Tester and forbidden rites, the investigation peels back a city’s veneer—much as Willett’s probing unmasked Curwen’s rites and the grotesque "resurrections" in those sealed chambers.

Drawn to Curwen’s Latin invocations, the sulfurous experiments, and the terrible power of those “saltes”? The Devil Rides Out plunges you into pitched battles of ritual magic—protective circles, evocations, and counter-spells—where grimoires and precise ceremonies matter as much as nerve. It channels the same chill you felt when Curwen’s rites crossed from parchment to lethal reality beneath Pawtuxet.

If you appreciated how Ward’s obsession and Willett’s methodical digging stretched into a slow, suffocating revelation, The Ceremonies delivers that same patient tightening of the noose. Rural customs curdle into uncanny liturgy, and—like discovering Curwen’s laboratory brick by brick—the menace grows by degrees until folklore cracks open into something vast and utterly inhuman.
