    About this ebook

    Working in his lab one Halloween night, Doctor Jericho October attempted to open a portal to another dimension using scientific methods on an ancient magic ritual. He overestimated the amount of power needed to open the portal on the night when the veil between worlds was thinnest, and created a massive portal between our world and that of the Astrokraken! Many powerful creatures slipped through before Doctor October could seal the pathway. Today he hunts down the Astrokraken's minions using magic and science, to prevent the Astrokraken from entering and then destroying our world.
    Our fate lies in the hands of Doctor October, Master of Scientific Sorcery!

He had everything correct, or so he thought: candles at the cardinal points, a large summoning circle ringed with salt, the proper sacrifices of wine and food. But it wasn't correct. Was the translation
