Now, for the first time, the town of Arkham itself takes center stage in this lavish, full-color, illustrated hardcover. From Miskatonic University to Arkham Asylum, the Nightingale Club and the Silver Twilight Lodge, people, places and events are presented in evocative detail, bringing to life the immersive, distinctive world of Arkham Horror.
