Arkham Detective Agency Robert M Price

Strong-jawed private eyes facing off against unknowable ancient evil in Lovecraftian-noir horror. No fainting librarians here, these are tough, capable heroes. And while they may survive their encounters with cosmic evil to fight another day, a terrible price was always paid. Friends were lost, relationships were destroyed, minds were broken. With scars both mental and physical, these champions would get only the briefest of respites before having to rise again to face the next challenge. Knowing that only death or madness would bring their fighting to an end, they nevertheless continued to wage war against the forces of the Cthulhu Mythos. What other choice did they have? This is the world created by author C. J. Henderson who gave readers such modern day pulp heroes as Jack Hagee, Teddy London, Piers Knight, and his most recent creation: Frank Nardi, former N. Y. C. detective, now head of the Arkham Detective Agency. Before C. J. Henderson's untimely death, many weird fiction authors were invited to this book to play in his world of stoic P. I.s, beautiful dames, and horrible monsters. We are thrilled to bring you the four Frank Nardi stories C. J. finished before his death, and all new stories set in H. P. Lovecraft's modern day witch-haunted town of Arkham.
