==Overview==
==Synopsis==
Alden Oakes is a dillitente artist who has a strange encounter with the supernatural in Spain before returning to discover that his hometown of Arkham is even stranger. Witnessing an event that may have led to the death of Harry Houdini, he soon finds himself hunted by monsters and investigates the local artists' commune run by the mysterious Juan Hugo Balthazar. Balthazar is a cultist of Yog-Sothoth who believes his god can be summoned through art. Alden is not the kind of man who is a hero, though, and relies heavily on his girlfriend, Nina Tarrington, to push him forward.
