Tie-in Tuesday: Arkham Horror Investigators
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
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)
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 Gamebooks offer endless replayability, and any Investigators that might be released in the future will also be compatible with any existing adventure in the series.
How's that for variety?

Gamebook Friday: The Kingsport Metamorphosis and other Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebooks
The Kingsport Metamorphosis, my latest Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebook, was published on Tuesday and I recieved a copy of it on Thursday.
I have had one AHIG published 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.
The Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebooks have come out over the same period of time, but today I am a full time writer and other titles have also been written and published during the last three years, including YOU ARE THE HERO: An Interactive History of Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks, and the ACE Gamebook Shakespeare Vs. Cthulhu: What Dreams May Come.

"If gamebooks be the food of love, play on."
Antony Johnston, author of Can You Solve The Murder?
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.
If you have ordered The Kingsport Metamorphosis, or any of my other Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebooks - such as The Darkness Over Arkham, or The Tides of Innsmouth - when you've had the chance to give them a read/playthrough, please do post a review online.
* Three and a half if you include The Magpie and the Bat.

The Kingsport Metamorphosis - new Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebook out now!
New book day! The Kingsport Metamorphosis, my third Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebook, is published today by Aconyte Books.
As with the other books in the series, The Kingsport Metamorphosis includes three Investigators with whom you can play through the adventure*. They are...
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.
Featuring another fantastic cover by Joshua Cairós, The Kingsport Metamorphosis is a classic country house murder mystery... only it isn't!
To find out more, pick up your copy of The Kingsport Metamorphosis today!
In other news, the Italian edition of The Darkness Over Arkham - L'Oscurità su Arkham - the first Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebook, is out now from Vincent Books.
