The Arkham Detective Agency A Lovecraftian-Noir Tribute to C. J. Henderson

Product Description Strong-jawed private eyes face off against unknowable ancient evil in Lovecraftian-noir horror. No fainting librarians here; these are tough, capable heroes. And while they may survive their encounters with cosmic evil to fight another day, a terrible price is always paid. Friends are lost, relationships are destroyed, minds are broken. With scars both mental and physical, these champions wil get only the briefest of respites before having to rise again to face the next challenge. Knowing that only death or madness will bring their fighting to an end, they nevertheless continue to wage war against the forces of the Cthulhu Mythos. What other choice do they have? This is the world created by author C.J. Henderson who gave readers such modern day pulp heroes as Jack Hagee, Teddy London, Piers Knight, and his most recent creation: Frank Nardi, former N.Y.C. detective, now head of the Arkham Detective Agency. Before C.J. Henderson’s untimely death, many weird fiction authors were invited to this book to play in his world of stoic P.I.s, beautiful dames, and horrible monsters. We are thrilled to bring you the four Frank Nardi stories C.J. finished before his death, and all-new stories set in H.P. Lovecraft’s modern-day witch- haunted town of Arkham. About the Author C.J Henderson was the creator of both the Jack Hagee hardboiled P.I. series and the Teddy London supernatural detective series, in addition to his Frank Nardi stories.

Henderson passed away in July of 2014 and is greatly missed by all who knew him.
