Casefile Arkham Nightmare on the Canvas
The series Jonathan Maberry calls 'A wickedly entertaining noir mystery spin on Lovecraft's cosmic horror...' Arkham is perfect for fans of The Dresden Files and Hellblazer.
The year is 1946. The place is the most cursed city on Earth Arkham, Massachusetts (a.k.a. the heart of Lovecraft country). Hank Flynn is a down on his luck private eye whose fate is inextricably linked to the bizarre and arcane underworld that exists in Arkham's shadows. Haunted by the memories of his time in the war, and plague with visions of a nightmare world that boils at the edges of our perception, Flynn is fated to peel away the thin veil of reality and confront H.P. Lovecraft s most enduring horrors (whether he likes it, or not). And things only get worse for Flynn when a wealthy (and beautiful) uptown socialite hires him to track down an artist by the name of Pickman. What begins as a simple missing persons case leads Flynn down a dark path of flesh eating ghouls, vengeful witches, and the notorious Innsmouth mafia.

About the author
J. Ishiro Finney
12 books10 followersJ. Ishiro “Ishii” Finney is a dark-eyed, pale-skinned creature who spends the majority of his time tapping away at a keyboard in a darkened room somewhere in the Arizona desert. There he writes tales of sci-fi, alt-history, horror, and occult noir. In a past life he worked as a music journalist, graphic designer, and had a very brief stint playing in an industrial band. He’s written for Industrial Nation, B-Side Magazine, and Alternative Press. In the realm of comics, he’s written and illustrated books with Archaia Entertainment(now Boom!), 01Publishing.
He’s best known for Casefile: Arkham, a graphic novel series which author Jonathan Maberry called “A wickedly entertaining noir mystery spin on Lovecraft’s cosmic horror… which is perfect for fans of The Dresden Files and Hellblazer.”
Finney also scripted the audiodrama adaptation of his book, Titanium Rain. In 2013 was nominated for two Audie Awards through the Audiobook Publishers Association in the categories of Best Audio Drama and Best Original Work. It also won the Earphones Award from AudioFile magazine and the Silver Mark Time Award.
Most recently, Finney published the sci-fi novella, SCARS. David J. West (author of the BRUTAL Saga) said of SCARS, “This was an amazing quick read, detailing the horrors of war and the beauty of brotherhood even that between the species. Simply amazing.”
His short stories have appeared in PseudoPod, Whispers from the Abyss, and NuMedia Journal. When not writing, Finney hosts a weekly podcast where he frequently claims to be a 600-year-old Zeta-Reticulan piloting a biomechanical flesh-suit. This is probably not true.
