Synopsis

Ghost-Finding is a lonely, dangerous business.

Thomas Carnacki has spent years chasing supernatural phenomena in the darkest margins of Edwardian London. But increasingly, it is Carnacki himself who is haunted: by strange visions of a far-flung future city.

And as a larger pattern emerges across Carnacki's investigations-one reaching across unfathomable time and distance-he is drawn into the company of two other Ghost-Finders: another investigator from his own era, and a mysterious denizen of that terrible future, where humanity's last city clings to survival in a world of darkness.

This illustrated volume includes two standalone adventures:

  1. The Black Veil: Carnacki comes to the aid of a young man whose nightly dreams of a strange, dark city may be much more than fever-induced visions.
  2. The Gateway of the Monster: A lightly edited edition of W. H. Hodgson's classic Carnacki story, in which only the Ghost-Finder's steely nerves and occult knowledge stand between him and a uniquely dangerous manifestation.
Plus:
  • 14 Original Hand-Rendered Illustrations
  • 3 Original Hand-Drawn Maps / Cross-Sections
  • 10 Pages of Sigsand Manuscript Entries

Illustrations and maps are scanned from original ink-on-paper drawings and rendered in Inkscape for high-contrast grayscale print quality.

Inspired by classic adventure serials and the covers of 80s-era comic books, each edition of the Ghost-Finder series brings the Darklander Universe to life through a collection of stories, detailed maps and diagrams, and entries from the mysterious Sigsand Manuscript.
