“Some cities grew; Arkham just festered,” so said the hard-boiled police detective that oversees the Mythos Division, a department that is mandated, by his superiors, to investigate things that go bump in the night . . . Lovecraftian things!

His nameless plainclothes officer pursues ungodly terrors in four riveting stories that propel the reader through Arkham, Innsmouth, Dunwich and, of course, Miskatonic University. Lovecraft and detective fans alike will enjoy this collection.
