Celebrated weird writer Peter Rawlik returns to his highly entertaining world of Lovecraft-inspired fiction with a standalone follow-up to his 2016 novel, Reanimatrix.

ARKHAM, 1928

Halsey, Peaslee, & Lydecker, Consulting Detectives

Arkham's newest detective agency doesn't handle philandering spouses, missing relatives, kidnappings or even murders. Even so, they aren't looking for work-if anything, they would appreciate some time off, to rest and recuperate.

The Miskatonic University Spiritualism Club

Dilettantes playing at ghost hunting-but the university knows better. If the club wants to borrow university equipment, they'll need someone to chaperone them-someone that can handle themselves against the living, the dead-and whatever else the universe might throw at them.

The Krag

The crumbling mansion squats abandoned on a New England cliff, overlooking the cold, dark sea. They say its owner, a professor broken by tragedy, had spent years trying to contact the dead-only to vanish from behind the locked doors of the house itself. Nearly a decade later, the place remains untouched, and the caretaker won't spend the night.

THESE ARE THE PLAYERS. THIS IS THE PLACE.

IT'S CHRISTMAS.

AND A GHOST STORY IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
