description: A mad surrealists art threatens to rip open the fabric of reality in this twisted tale of eldritch horror and conspiracy from the wildly popular world of Arkham Horror .Aspiring painter Alden Oakes is invited to join a mysterious art commune in the New Colony. When celebrated Spanish surrealist Juan Hugo Balthazarr visits the colony Alden and the other artists quickly fall under his charismatic spell. Balthazarr throws a string of decadent parties for Arkhams social elite conjuring arcane illusions which blur the boundaries between nightmare and reality. Only slowly does Alden come to suspect that Balthazarrs mock rituals are intended to break through those walls and free what lies beyond. Alden must act but it might already be too late to save himself let alone Arkham.
