Publisher's summary

Christmas comes to Arkham Horror in this action-packed eldritch adventure full of secret whispers, haunted streets, and a lost actor falling through time

Ruby Malone Gutierrez is running away, although she won't admit that to herself. Suffering from hearing loss after an illness, the former music teacher wants to find a way to retain her independence, but only a wealthy relative offers any hope of that. Put to work in her aunt Nova's Kingsport dance hall, Ruby stumbles upon a mystery when her new hearing aids begin picking up conversations that no one else can hear. As Christmas draws closer, Ruby realizes the voice comes from a hunted man lost in time. Now she must do everything she can to free him before the monsters chasing him can catch up and break through.

Christmas in Kingsport

A delightful winter/Christmas Arkham Horror story! This book is on the pulpier side of the Mythos (which I love), as this combines Rosemary Jones' skill for creating compelling characters with the Cthulhu Mythos perils we associate with the Arkham Horror setting. I always appreciate when authors branch out to some of the expanded creations of the Mythos, and also appreciate the fact that it uses a creation from the Lovecraft circle. Don't want to say which it is, but if you're familiar with Mythos stories than you should enjoy the reference!

We shift between the POV of two different characters, and the way this was done was really creative with the time travel shenanigans. Their story was so precious! I was especially rooting for Paul, but Raquel's struggles also resonated with me. Rosemary Jones creates characters and relationships I can’t help but root for as they’re pitted against nasty beasties.

If you’re a fan of timey wimey stories, this is definitely a book you’ll want to pick up. Perfect reading for those long winter nights.

easy to listen, easy to follow.

All my favorite characters from the Arkham games make cameos. But no new bad guys.
