Blurb

An occult thief takes on a sinister society threatening to tear the fabric of this world apart, in this daring noir-thriller from the bestselling world of Arkham Horror

Countess Alessandra Zorzi, reformed thief and acquirer of occult artifacts, faces her greatest challenge yet as she searches for an elusive artist in possession of the powerful Zanthu Tablet; the only thing that can stop the strange psychic malaise afflicting Alessandra’s assistant, Pepper.

The countess’s quest takes her to the crooked heart of Venice, where an eerie organization is planning a grand performance that will engulf the city in chaos. As Pepper slips into an inescapable alien world, Alessandra must defeat powerful forces to save her friend. One wrong move could bring the curtain down on them all..

Review

It is safe to say I adore the Arkham Horror series be it games, tie in books, game books (excited about that future release) I love it. The only thing or rather people I love more is Alessandra Zorzi and Pepper. This time the duo return but in hopes of finding a way to stop or help Pepper’s current nightmares and visions that seem to be growing worse.

For a slight change of scenery the Countess and her assistant end up in Venice and of course there is more shady organisations and eldritch horrors waiting. I have to say I adored this adventure. The horror was creeping and slow and seemed to always be waiting on the wings but it gave a sense of unease and uncertainty throughout.

The story, as always with Reynolds, is tightly woven and contains numerous twists and turns within. We have a bit of everything and Reynolds makes it work. A touch of magic, a bit of horror, and then of course real historical events which add a touch of realism. If you are fans of the game, the wider Arkham Horror fandom, Lovecraft or just a really good pulpy adventure with horror at it’s heart this is for you.
