Arkham stands on the brink of destruction as eldritch forces rise from the depths in the stunning conclusion to Arkham Horror's The Drowned City. Harvey Walters knows the end is coming. Arkham is overwhelmed by flooding, and from the depths strange creatures have arisen, drawn from another dimension by the approach of an ancient being determined to destroy the city. And amongst the chaos, another force seeks to seize the influx of supernatural power for themselves. Arkham is under siege from all fronts. But Harvey Walters is not going down without a fight. Teaming up with garbageman, Lefty Googe, and reporter, Minnie Klein, Harvey is determined to save the city he loves from annihilation. His mind and a stolen wand are his only weapons and as Arkham crumbles around him, Harvey must draw on all his mystic alliances to make a last stand. He's gambled with the arcane before, but this time the stakes have never been higher.

Recently plunged into the Roaring Twenties for the Arkham Horror titles Mask of Silver and its sequels The Deadly Grimoire and The Bootlegger's Dance. I've written novels set in the Forgotten Realms, City of the Dead and Crypt of the Moaning Diamond, as well as several short stories and novella Cold Steel and Secrets set in this Dungeons & Dragons world. When not battling cosmic horrors, animated skeletons, and other supernatural foes, I'm authoring tales of Cobalt City, a place of superheroes, super villains, and regular joes just trying to get by. A new expanded edition of Wrecker of Engines returns in 2024. My other science fiction and fantasy short stories appear in various anthologies. The complete list on my website at rosemaryjones.com. As the co-author of the Encyclopedia of Collectible Childrens Books, I spent many years collecting and often dip back into these treasures for my own pleasure and entertainment. I currently share my home with 2,000+ volumes, not all cataloged here. Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. See this thread for more information.
