An Arkham Horror Novel
When a mysterious killer haunts Arkham, three struggling investigators must confront the eldritch horrors of their past in this action-packed pulp adventure from the world of Arkham Horror
In the swirling sewers beneath Arkham, excavators uncover a crystalline formation that hints at dark events from the city’s past. As the discovery makes headlines, so too does a series of bizarre murders. With no leads, the Arkham police are always one step behind. Acting on a hunch, down-on-his luck former journalist Andy Van Nortwick reunites with adventurer Jake Williams and struggling filmmaker Maude Brion to unearth the truth. The trio know of the supernatural horrors that lurk beyond this world, and the reality haunts them. But time is running out and between them they must face their nightmares before the city of Arkham is lost to blood and chaos.
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?

– Midwest Book Review
“Overall, this book is great for anyone liking the supernatural, anyone who’s already a fan of the Arkham Horror series, or anyone who loves murder mysteries.”
– Cosmic Circus
“It gives readers a different perspective on Arkham, a different type of adventure, and different scares. Go into it knowing that you’re going to get something new and you’re going to have a great time with it.”
– Trans-Scribe
“This is a wonderful pulp horror novel filled with an intriguing mystery, murder, witches and ancient beings…”
– Mr Ghost Reads
“If you have been reading Aconyte’s catalog, then “The Lair of the Crystal Fang” will treat you to some worthwhile surprises. Alternatively, if you are a tabletop player that enjoys the game but wants to be exposed to more of the lore of the setting you spend hours playing with then I recommend this as a highly accessible story that will give your games a more in-depth feel.”
