"The modern master of the gamebook format" (Rob Sanders)... "Can do dark very well" (Jonathan Oliver)... "Green gets mileage out of his monsters" (SFX Magazine)... "It takes a firm editorial hand and a keen understanding of the tone of each piece to make a collection this diverse work, and Green makes it look effortless" (Starburst Magazine)... "A charming blend of camp creatures, humour, and genuine horror" (Set the Tape)
At 11:30am, I will be giving a talk about Writing Fantasy Gamebooks, and signing copies of my books afterwards, at the East Quay Creator Space, Harbour Road.
You can find out more and book your ticket (although entry to FREE) here.
Remember, the USP of this series is that you can play through any adventure as any Investigator.
So, those currently available to download from ArkhamHorror.com are...
The Kingsport Metamorphosis Jacqueline Fine, the Psychic Lucius Galloway, the Dreamer Lola Hayes, the Actress
The Tides of Innsmouth Silas Marsh, the Sailor Kōhaku Narukami, the Folklorist Marion Tavares, the Trawler
The Darkness Over Arkham Agnes Baker, the Waitress Nathaniel Cho, the Boxer Rex Murphy, the Reporter
Bonus Investigators George Barnaby, the Lawyer Stella Clarke, the Letter Carrier Skids O'Toole, the Ex-Con Amanda Sharpe, the Student Sister Mary, the Nun (released to mark the publication of The Kingsport Metamorphosis)
These are the 14 Investigators available to download from ArkhamHorror.com.
However, there are two more Investigators available - Jenny Barnes the Dilettante, and Joe Diamond the Private Investigator - whose character sheets can be found in the graphic novel The Terror at the End of Time.
So, I think you will agree, the Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebooksoffer endless replayability, and any Investigators that might be released in the future will also be compatible with any existing adventure in the series.
I have had one AHIGpublished each year since 2024, meaning there are now three in print*.
It struck me the other day that back in 1995, I had three Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks in print and this felt like a real achievement. In fact, when Curse of the Mummy was published, I only had three books published in total.

Even though The Kingsport Metamorphosis is my 86th published book (not including reprints and omnibuses), I still get excited when I get to hold a copy of one of my books for the first time. I am particularly keen to give The Kingsport Metamorphosis a read myself, to see if I succeeded in what I set out to do with this adventure.
As with the other books in the series, The Kingsport Metamorphosis includes three Investigators with whom you can play through the adventure*. They are...
Jacqueline Fine The Psychic
When Jacqueline's supernatural senses pull her towards the fog-bound streets of Kingsport, with a peculiar letter in her hand, she understands that she has no choice but to follow where they lead.
Lola Hayes The Actress
When a letter arrives from one Elijah Harcourt inviting Lola to visit his home in Kingsport, she decides it might be nice to have a break from performing.
But, as she comes to the coast, she can’t help wondering if she is about to take on the most important role of her life.
Lucius Galloway The Poet
The mists of Kingsport have haunted Lucius's work since before he ever set foot in the town. Now he walks its alleyways, and if the truth of his visions awaits him here, he will meet it, whether it brings triumph or ruin.
A mysterious letter summons you to the seaside town of Kingsport, where dreams leak into reality, to a wealthy estate transformed into a place of unspeakable nightmares in this new action-adventure gamebook set in the popular world of Arkham Horror.
Curious to meet your mysterious host, Elijah Harcourt, your excitement is dashed when you discover the recluse's purpose is far more nefarious than you realized, leaving you and his guests with riddles to solve if you are to survive. As each hour passes, your companions meet terrible fates, forcing you to navigate a spiderweb of betrayal…
