I'll be very honest. I read this super quickly so I have absolutely no clue if I missed anything. The premise is pretty interesting, and I did enjoy it. Eldritch horror will always be a favorite of mine and I love eye imagery. It also has a lot of fun detective noir vocab in there so that was a delightful little treat!

Personally didn't find it all that scary, but I think if you've got a few hours to kill and want to give it a shot you should go for it. It was definitely worth the read.
