Book Overview

by Simon Birks (Author), Willi Roberts (Illustrator), Rob Jones (Illustrator)

"It is true that I have sent six bullets through the head of my best friend, and yet I hope to shew by this statement that I am not his murderer."

The year is 1933, and Edward Derby's best friend, Daniel Upton, visits him in Arkham Sanitorium and shoots him dead to the horror of the guards. It's an open and shut case - or is it? What happened to this lifelong friendship for it to end this way? Who exactly was Edward Derby at the end of his life? And, most importantly, will his murder be enough to stop him?

From award-winning writer Simon Birks (Antarctica, Sinners, Gone, The Shadow Over Innsmouth) with artist Willi Roberts (Antarctica, The Dark, Clodagh, The Blood Below, Remothered) featuring letters by Rob Jones (Image, Humanoids, Heavy Metal, and many more) comes a startling tale based on H.P. Lovecraft's terrifying story.
