Fun pulpy mystery

This was a very entertaining story. A good eerie atmosphere was held -up untill the end, even though we are never spared
cool and memorable encounters with the supernatural either. Its a hard balance, for this kind of story not to be too over the top with the monsters or not to drag with foreshadowing but his one gets it. There are just enough left in the dark of the underlying conspiracy even after the ending for me to stil ponder about it. Arkham is really well described, it has that gothic run-down "gotham-esque" grimy noir wibes, which are more in common with the board-game brand then with Lovecraft's original vision of the place, The same is true with the way the supernatural is shown in this book, people won't allways get gibbering mad each time they see something that hints of the paranormal, they can react, they can fight (with the expectable amount of success) but there is just enough sanity shattering for cosmic horror as well.

So if you are into the Arkham Horror Board games or you just one a supernatural mystery with a series of murders you should check this one out.
