Saw this news post linked to by Marc Gascoigne on Twitter earlier today - looks like new Arkham Horror novels have been announced for 2020.

What's unclear is whether we'll see more promo goodness, especially with them being paperbacks.

MAY 2020
Arkham Horror: Wrath of N’Kai – Josh Reynolds
There’s an ancient artefact on display in Arkham, and everyone wants to get their hands on it… big mistake.

AUGUST 2020
Arkham Horror: The Last Ritual – S A Sidor
Infamous European surrealist Juan Hugo Balthazarr is feted by Arkham high society, but his art is darker than anyone can imagine.

Someone on Reddit added these detailed descriptions of the stories. They appear to involve two brand new investigators -- Countess Alessandra Zorzi, adventurer and thief, and Alden Oakes, a.......painter??

It also puts both at 352 pages...seems unlikely that they're both the same length. Especially since I doubt they're completed this far out.

Ah, shame. I liked the short story format with colour pages. They made excellent handouts for roleplaying games.

I am assuming these are just AH fiction and not related to the novellas or alternate investigator releases. I would love to be wrong though.

It was confirmed that be novellas we’re coming though. No idea when but I’m assuming they would also be via Aconyte.

Someone on Reddit mentioned these are authors who have written for black library previously. Any idea how they are? Do they rise to the level of "enjoyably pulpy"?

Josh Reynolds has written some good books for Black Library

Knight of the Blazing Sun, Return of Nagash and Charnel Congres are all excellent

He has also written Arkham-esque stories, for instance in Historical Lovecraft
