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...

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.

Featuring another fantastic cover by Joshua Cairós, The Kingsport Metamorphosis is a classic country house murder mystery... only it isn't!

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.

* Although you can play as any Investigator whose stats have been published in another Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebook or online.

Gamebook Friday: The Kingsport Metamorphosis

This Gamebook Friday I am delighted to be able to share with you the news that I have written another Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebook, which will be released next spring. Here's the announcement video that appeared on ArkhamHorror.com yesterday.

And here's a message I recorded, especially for the Week of Arkham Horror.

The Kingsport Metamorphosis will be the third Investigators Gamebook, following on from The Darkness Over Arkham and The Tides of Innsmouth. Each volume is both a book and a game – you, the reader, get to take on the role of one of the famed Investigators you already know and love from the Arkham Horror series of tabletop games, and the book’s text guides you through an exciting narrative, where the choices you make at the end of each passage determine where you must turn next.

Combined with tests of Willpower, Intellect and Combat, your choices will determine your fate and your chances of success and failure over the course of the adventure, giving you the complete Arkham Horror game experience in a solo-play book format.

Appetite of the Spider God

Apparently, 25 million metric tonnes of spiders exist on Earth and between them they consume 400-800 million tonnes of insects every year, which is equivalent to the amount of meat and fish that humans consume over the same period!

There are quite a lot of spiders in my Gamebook Adventure Temple of the Spider God, although not 25 million metric tonnes worth!

There is also a giant spider - albeit a rather unusual one - in the forthcoming The Wicked Wizard of Oz, as drawn here by Kev Crossley.
