Chipper

Pat Scaramuzza presents a narrative centered on Nita Javierez during her initial year in criminology studies at CalState. The plot requires the protagonist to investigate a group of fish-men and learn methods for measuring non-Euclidean objects. She also interacts with an occult studies professor known as Chipper, who maintains a constant smile throughout their encounters. The story questions whether this educator is linked to corpses appearing on the California coast, which bear eldritch symbols carved into their skin. It further explores if a ritual is underway to summon an otherworldly deity. A central plot point involves Nita’s desire to have Chipper serve as her college advisor. This work appeals to readers interested in cosmic horror and academic settings where the mundane collides with the supernatural. The text draws on Lovecraftian traditions through its use of non-Euclidean geometry and eldritch imagery. It suits those who enjoy university-based mysteries mixed with occult elements. Readers seeking traditional jump scares or fast-paced action may find the tone less suitable. The narrative focuses on intellectual puzzles and eerie atmosphere rather than physical combat. Scaramuzza structures the story around Nita’s academic challenges and her growing suspicion of the professor’s true nature.
