Casefile: Arkham "Nightmare on the Canvas"

The series Jonathan Maberry calls 'A wickedly entertaining noir mystery spin on Lovecraft's cosmic horror...' Casefile: Arkham is perfect for fans of The Dresden Files and Hellblazer.
The year is 1946. The place is the most cursed city on Earth Arkham, Massachusetts (a.k.a. the heart of Lovecraft country). Hank Flynn is a down on his luck private eye whose fate is inextricably linked to the bizarre and arcane underworld that exists in Arkham's shadows. Haunted by the memories of his time in the war, and plague with visions of a nightmare world that boils at the edges of our perception, Flynn is fated to peel away the thin veil of reality and confront H.P. Lovecraft s most enduring horrors (whether he likes it, or not). And things only get worse for Flynn when a wealthy (and beautiful) uptown socialite hires him to track down an artist by the name of Pickman. What begins as a simple missing persons case leads Flynn down a dark path of flesh eating ghouls, vengeful witches, and the notorious Innsmouth mafia.
