H.P. Lovecraft's Arkham

Unveiling the Legend-Haunted City

"Behind everything crouched the brooding, festering horror of the ancient town . . . the changeless, legend-haunted city of Arkham, with its clustering gambrel roofs that sway and sag over attics where witches hid from the King's men in the dark, olden days of the Province.

It was always a very bad time in Arkham . . . ."

—H. P. Lovecraft

Arkham is a small town along the Massachusetts coast—the setting favored by author Howard Phillips Lovecraft in his tales of monstrous horror. All in all a quiet place, Arkham is best-known as the home of Miskatonic University, an excellent school becoming known for its esoteric and disturbing volumes residing in its library's Restricted Collection. These tomes form the foundation of all current efforts to thwart the dire desires of the Mythos legion.

H.P. Lovecraft's Arkham contains extensive background information about this haunted New England town—written to be used by serious investigators as a base from which to further explore the mysteries of the Cthulhu Mythos. Pertinent buildings, useful people, and important locations are described in depth.

Includes the H.P. Lovecraft short story "The Dreams in the Witch-house" (1933), and a downloadable copy of the Arkham Advertiser, issue for Oct. 11, 1928.

This book also includes game data for the d20 edition of Call of Cthulhu.

For those curious YES this is the version with the new CG art that is worse than the original in every way. A shame too, as the original art was spectacular in places and pretty bad in others.

If you are looking at this, yes it is 100% worth grabbing as a sourcebook for Arkham. It is incredibly detailed and all of the scenarios are included as classics for a reason, including The Condemned.

That being said get ready to do some work on your own to fill in a few gaps.

Is there any chance this will be made available as POD?

I don't know why they are so lazy to add those in.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
