I'm NOT a gaming person myself, so seldom take note of what is out there in Lovecraftian games. Therre are, however, exceptions... and in each case, it is because the "game" led to writing of original Lovecraftian fiction, or the compiling (as with the lengthy "Call of Cthulhu" series of anthologies) of the original source material which inspired Lovecraft, his colleagues, and therefore the designers of the games. Save for picking up the few early "Elder Beings" figures from the 1980s, I hadn't gone beyond that. Until now. Recently, I began to find more and more references to the "Arkham Horror" game figures and characters, and their exploits, showing up in my "recommendations" from others. Mostly I ignjored such, though sometimes finding them niggling at my curoisity a bit. Then I ran across a few descriptions which indicated something a bit different from the usual RPG penumbra. These people not only seemed to know their HPL rather well, but were -- as with the best, or at least most interesting, of the writers who have used the worlds created by the dreamer from Providence -- using even tiny but very suggestive hints the Old Gent had woven into the work, as a set of "grafting points" to grow their own "nightmare fungi". So I began to look up more about them, and found a surprising array of people very articulately discussing their merits (and demerits). And I followed an odd sort of "hunch" which has seldom let me down during the decades, and began to pick up the books of fiction; but I still kept it very much in that realm. Until I found that this "guide" to the investigators of several of these tales (and games) was, itself, apparently worth reading for even a *non-games* person. I also found that the book had some reviews saying it had arrived broken in one way or another, so I was wary on that count. But I went ahead and took that "leap" of, if not faith, at least trust, in my instinct. And the book arrived today, and I began browsing through it... and even with such a short span, I've seen little details in the artwork and the few passages I've read, to indicate that my instinct has once again proven trustworthy. Granted, the verbal magic may not be as much in evidence as the best of the writers in the field, but these dreamers are nevertheless impressing me with the care they show for various aspects of HPL's work and, particularly, his vision. I am sure there are things I will find disappinting here, as well. But this book is already impressing me on several levels; and flaws are not necessarily fatal. After all, even HPL (or Machen, or Poe, or CAmpbell) have their share. But the dreams, the visions, the wonderful blending of awe, fear, and the "lure of the unknown" (Burkean sublime, anyone?) shines out from these pages, in their own odd and wondrous ways. So, yes, I would advise anyone who is *not* a strictly "orthodox" (so to speak) Lovecraftian or fan of the Mythos, to take the plunge, if they are at all so inclined. There may be some who disagree... but I've a feeling that, as with myself, if you're open to new ways to explore Lovecraft's universe of madness and beauty, you will find more -- much more -- to enrich your appreciation of Grandpa Theobold's work than otherwise. Review: Great (but Fragile) Mythos Book - Excellent book; looks beautiful; spectacular writing and great artwork, most gleaned from the Arkham Horror game boxes and cards. Some very engaging writing, and some great stories. A definite must-have for any fan of Lovecraft and the Arkham Horror games. However, I'm not sure if the book is poorly made or if it's just how it's shipped, but I ordered it three times and all three copies were very damaged: broken corners (not just bent, but cracked), and the spine literally peeling away. At any rate, this is a heavy, glossy cover book (kind of like a high school yearbook), which means it's very easily damaged. If your copy comes in an envelope instead of a box, or it it comes in a box three times the necessary size (and with one airbladder), keep your fingers crossed... ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (152) | ## Images ![The Investigators of Arkham Horror - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1nV+MJpLkL.jpg) ![The Investigators of Arkham Horror - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1Z2bt6+8wL.jpg) ![The Investigators of Arkham Horror - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81lCIAU7tjS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth the leap.... *by J***N on May 10, 2024* Only recently have I had my curiosity piqued by the "Arkham Horror" connection.

The art of every page is simply so beautiful and every details so well thought and designed. A real pleasure for the eye. Of course the stories of each single character are a bit short, but this is expected for so many characters covered. Overall, this is a piece of art that every fun of Arkham Horror files franchise should own ;) ## Frequently Bought Together - The Investigators of Arkham Horror - The Art of Arkham Horror - The Darkness Over Arkham: An Arkham Horror Investigators Gamebook --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/40195629-the-investigators-of-arkham-horror](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/40195629-the-investigators-of-arkham-horror) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
