Arkham Horror: The Deadly Grimoire by Rosemary Jones

The Deadly Grimoire

An Arkham Horror Novel

19-05-23 Lauren’s Bookshelf Review The Deadly Grimoire

"I cannot overstate how much I enjoyed Nova Malone. The book gets a five out of five from me." - Lauren's Bookshelf

22-03-22 Chris L. Owens Review Deadly Grimoire

"The adventure elements of the story are strong, as Betsy indulges her addiction to adrenaline rushes with the assistance of her pilot friend, Wini Habbamock." - Chris L. Owens

05-04-22 Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviewer Review Deadly Grimoire

"Jones once again provides a fast-paced and deeply compelling narrative as Betsy bull-headedly strives into the morass of chaos and corruption in the midst of Arkham and Innsmouth, and her skillful prose is immediately put to work in not only developing both the overarching Arkham Horror setting" - Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviewer

17-01-22 The Catbox Review The Deadly Grimoire

"This has the vibe of a matinee movie, but also a strong detective story. As always, at the end of these books those who survive are forever changed by their encounters with the Great Unknown – as are we, the reader." - The Catbox

29-01-22 Happy Horror Writer Review The Deadly Grimoire

"For some thrills set at the seashore (and we know what kinds of things live in the sea) pick up The Deadly Grimoire and take yourself back to 1926 and get a little wing walking for your reading pleasure." - Happy Horror Writer

16-02-22 What You Tolkien About Review The Deadly Grimoire

"Jones manages to capture the horror and mystery of the game and pairs this perfectly with a pulpy and rip-roaring 1920s setting." - What You Tolkien About

16-03-22 Trans-Scribe Review The Deadly Grimoire

"The Deadly Grimoire is an interesting addition to the Arkham Horror line, one that brings a very different kind of energy to things. It has more of a focus on the glory days of Hollywood, features silent movie stars, stung pilots, and dangerous bootleggers over the more otherworldly horror aspects. Whilst this may leave some people wanting more cosmic horror than is in the book, those wanting to spend some time with some interesting characters and getting to know a bit more about Arkham will come away satisfied." - Trans-Scribe

The Deadly Grimoire

An Arkham Horror Novel

By Rosemary Jones

While researching a wing-walking scene, she meets the fearless Winifred Habbamock and discovers a shared background of eerie encounters and eldritch phenomena. For years, Betsy has been investigating the disappearance of an old friend during the horror-struck filming of The Mask of Silver, when she learns of his reappearance in Arkham, she and Winifred hit the road to investigate. But Arkham is full of mysteries and danger. Betsy will need all her skills, and new allies, to prevent an otherworldly cataclysm from consuming her and all of Arkham.

Arkham Horror

It is the height of the Roaring Twenties – a fresh enthusiasm for the arts, science, and exploration of the past have opened doors to a wider world, and beyond… And yet, a dark shadow grows in the city of Arkham. Alien entities known as Ancient Ones lurk in the emptiness beyond space and time, writhing at the thresholds between worlds. Eldritch rituals must be stopped and alien creatures destroyed; before the Ancient Ones make our world their ruined dominion. Only a handful of investigators stand against the horrors threatening to tear this world apart. Will they prevail?
