Celebrated weird writer Peter Rawlik returns to his highly entertaining world of Lovecraft-inspired, silver screen-infused fiction with a standalone follow-up to his 2016 novel, Reanimatrix.
ARKHAM, 1928
Halsey, Peaslee, & Lydecker,Consulting Detectives
Arkham's newest detective agency doesn't handle philandering spouses, missing relatives, kidnappings or even murders. Even so, they aren't looking for work-if anything, they would appreciate some time off, to rest and recuperate.
The Miskatonic University Spiritualism Club
Dilettantes playing at ghost hunting-but the university knows better. If the club wants to borrow university equipment, they'll need someone to chaperone them-someone that can handle themselves against the living, the dead-and whatever else the universe might throw at them.
The Krag
The crumbling mansion squats abandoned on a New England cliff, overlooking the cold, dark sea. They say its owner, a professor broken by tragedy, had spent years trying to contact the dead-only to vanish from behind the locked doors of the house itself. Nearly a decade later, the place remains untouched, and the caretaker won't spend the night.
THESE ARE THE PLAYERS. THIS IS THE PLACE.
IT'S CHRISTMAS.
AND A GHOST STORY IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

Peter Rawlik
PETER RAWLIK is a long-time collector of Lovecraftian fiction and in 1985 stole a car to go see the film Re-Animator. He successfully defended himself by explaining that his father had regularly read him "The Rats in the Walls" as a bedtime story. His first professional sale was in 1997 but he didn't begin to write seriously until 2010. Since then, he has authored more than fifty short stories and the Cthulhu Mythos novels Reanimators, The Weird Company, Reanimatrix, The Peaslee Papers, and The Eldritch Equations. He is a frequent contributor to the Lovecraft eZine. In 2014 his short story "Revenge of the Reanimator" was nominated for a New Pulp Award. In 2015 he co-edited The Legacy of the Reanimator for Chaosium. Somewhere along the line he became known as the Reanimator guy, but he fervently denies being obsessed with the character. His short stories are collected in both Strange Company and Others and The Cthulhu Heresy and Other Lovecraftian Sins. He lives in southern Florida where he works on Everglades issues and does a lot of fishing.
