It is a mistake to fancy that horror is associated inextricably with darkness, silence, and solitude.
   –H.P. Lovecraft, “Cool Air”

Arkham is under threat once more, but this time, evil is not emerging from beyond the veil that divides worlds. It comes from within the city itself. The Order of the Silver Twilight is a powerful, esteemed society within Arkham, but their secretive nature naturally incites your curiosity. What are they really up to and what are their motives? Fantasy Flight Games is excited to announce the upcoming release of Sanctum of Twilight, a new expansion for Mansions of Madness Second Edition!

A Powerful Adversary

Sanctum of Twilight is an expansion for Mansions of Madness, challenging one to five players to investigate the occult happenings and horrors that haunt the once-quiet city of Arkham, Massachusetts. With previously unseen tiles and cards, a new monster, and two new investigators, this expansion takes a closer look at the wealthy and upstanding members of the Silver Twilight Lodge who wield forbidden arcane powers alongside their city-wide influence. Beneath a veneer of respectability, the true Order of the Silver Twilight performs rituals with mysterious motives.

To bring these nefarious misdeeds to light, this expansion brings two new investigators to Mansions of Madness. Lily Chen has spent her life in training with an obscure sect of monks who believed that she was destined to one day face a great evil. As a master of martial arts, when Lily attacks unarmed, she inflicts two additional damage on any monster she strikes. Her intense training has also given her the will to become a stalwart defender against the unimaginable terror that lurk on the fringes of reality.

Politician Charlie Kane, on the other hand, never believed that in confronting the important issues facing Arkham he would end up taking on monsters and cults. Still, he knows that he was elected for a purpose and defending the city is his duty. Using his incredible influence and connections, Charlie is prepared to protect the people of Arkham from any threat, supernatural or otherwise. After all, he needs his constituents alive and voting if he runs for re-election.

To aid you in your investigation of the Order of the Silver Twilight, Sanctum of Twilight introduces a new type of token in the form of Restraints. These tokens are not possessions, but they can prove invaluable in the course of your investigations. Throughout the game, various effects may cause investigators to place Restraints on the map to trap a monster, binding them to that space. A restrained monster does not need to be evaded, and when this monster activates, the investigators may choose to discard a Restraint from the monster’s space and force the monster to forfeit its movement. When time is of the essence, these Restraints may provide a vital opportunity to gather evidence without being pursued and assailed by the dark creatures spawned by the Order’s activities.

A Cordial Invitation

The Sanctum of Twilight expansion unlocks two new digital adventures for you to continue your adventures in Arkham. Behind Closed Doors begins with a peaceful stroll through the park. For once, no desperate friends, sudden phone calls, or mysterious notes have disrupted your plans. But somehow, you cannot shake the feeling that someone is watching you. A chill breeze soon sweeps the sensation away, but the sense of paranoia sticks with you. Another denizen of the park walks just behind you and you cannot shake the feeling that something is not right, when suddenly your world goes black.

You awake in a dark cell, the cold from the stone floor beneath you creeping uncomfortably into your skin. How long were you out? What is this place? And most importantly, how do you get out?

Then, in Twilight Diadem, the annual Twilight Fair hosted by the powerful Silver Twilight Lodge lights up the streets of Arkham. As per tradition, on the last day of the Fair a young debutante is crowned the Queen of Love and Beauty at the Twilight Ball. But when this year’s queen, Mary Ann Chase, comes to you insisting that the Silver Twilight Lodge is up to something sinister, you know that you are the only one who can help her. The Twilight Fair, she insists, is not all that it seems.

Still, the show must go on, and what is a fair without a parade? Sanctum of Twilight allows you to fully take part in the festivities by introducing a previously unseen map element in the form of moving tiles. When a map tile (such as a parade float) moves, all investigators, monsters, and tokens maintain their positions on the tile. This may work in your favor by delivering you from danger, or the motion could prove to be your downfall, driving you toward an enemy without offering a chance to escape. This newfound mobility may only present you with a new question: how can you keep a steady hold on your own fate when even the ground you stand on is unstable?

The Fading of the Light

Confront the evils that threaten the city from within. Gather your team of investigators and defend Arkham from the sinister forces lurking in the twilight!

Fun Seeing Where it All Begins for the Fantastic Amateur Detecting Duo
Format: Audiobook
I started with book three in this series, progressed forward, and finally took the opportunity to go back and get the first book in the series. The whimsical, cozy mystery paired with historical Edwardian setting was light and whimsical. Actually, when I started listening, I realized that the first book introduced Lady Hardcastle and her ladies' maid, Florence Armstrong along with their new home and the other regular characters, in such a way that it didn't feel like the first book so much as the first of the stories that had been recorded. There are hints of their unusual, dangerous work abroad and no big explanation why the pair happened to be set upon 'a quiet life in the country' or why Lady Hardcastle and Florence have a relationship that is nearly family rather than an employer and servant from separate classes. The author trickles out the details and the reader/listener must catch them and piece them together as they go. Because I had experienced later books, those pieces stuck out easily to me. The meeting with Inspector Sunderland and the local villagers and neighborhood was fun. There are two murder mysteries that have interesting crossover people and facts. One seems to involve a dead man from the village cricket team whose death was meant to appear like a suicide and then later, the death of a rag-time band trumpeteer that played at the engagement party of the local squire's daughter. A theft is tossed in for good measure. I figured out one of the murders and part of the theft and the second murder, but the ultimate solution took me by surprise. Loved seeing the intrepid Flo able to get in some of her martial arts ability and spend time trailing along as they teased out the solution along side Inspector Sunderland. Elizabeth Knowelden is an absolute gem of a narrator and the voice of this series for me. She laid out the Edwardian country village world, the variety of genders and accents, and kept the pace and tone for this series just right. All in all, I thought this first entry was as fabulous as the later books and do not hesitate to put it out there as a good bet for historical cozy mystery lovers.

A story about what's left behind after death, both emotionally & spiritually - oh, and evil puppets
Format: Kindle
It takes a bit for Grady Hendrix's How to Sell a Haunted House to get to the "haunted" part of that title, but that's okay, really; what Hendrix is interested in here, as much as anything, is haunting in terms of the literal things left behind by death - the traumas that are left for those who survive, the guilt, the shame, the baggage, and all of the other things left behind by those who went before us. And, in the case of Louise and Mark Joyner, puppets. Lots and lots and lots of puppets. Oh, and one of them might be alive and malevolent, turning all of that metaphorical trauma into a very real presence (and, without getting into spoiler territory, all without losing that symbolic weight) - and one that allows Hendrix to bring real horror into the story of an estranged pair of siblings forced back into contact in the weight of their parents' death, and the reckoning that they have to go through as they deal with painful memories and a nightmare puppet. The end result can feel a little cluttered at times (although, by the end, it turns out to be a lot more interconnected and structured than you might realize along the way), and it doesn't help that it features some very fraught family interactions that cross from "painful" to "infuriating" very quickly. But as ever with Hendrix, there's more heart and emotion here than you might expect, and while it's all handled in his usual slightly off-kilter and unique sensibility, it still knows how to deliver the goods both on a horror front and a character one. I'd put it among the weakest of Hendrix's efforts overall, but there's a caveat here, and it's that I don't think anything he's read has ever been anything less than entertaining and solid overall, so even a weaker entry? Still a good time and a good read.

Exactly as advertised
Format: Hardcover
REVIEW: How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix If you've enjoyed Grady Hendrix's previous books, you're probably going to like this one. It is Grady in typical form - witty, entertaining, slightly spooky, grounded characters who contrast over-the-top characters, and drenched in South Carolina charm. Now, if you're not the biggest Grady fan, I doubt this will be the book that converts you for the same reasons mentioned above. I tend to fall in the middle. I enjoy his storytelling abilities and scenarios enough to keep reading his books, but there's nothing horrific about them, nor any lingering effects. To me, they are entry-level horror, and that's perfectly fine. There's a huge market for that as his success reflects. This book doesn't try to be anything other than what it is, and I respect that. The story begins with Louise getting the news that her parents were killed in a car crash. She travels from California back to her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina where she reluctantly reunites with her cousins, aunt, and her brother, Mark. Louise and Mark resent one another, so they butt heads at every decision that needs to be made in light of the tragedy. Louise sees herself as the reasonable one and looks down on her brother as an embarrassment and a failure. While trying to come to terms with selling the house, the siblings soon realize that there's another presence in there with them, and it has something to do with their mom's homemade puppet collection. Overall, this book was enjoyable. There was nothing groundbreaking about it, and I got exactly what I paid for. Check it out if you're into spooky stories about complicated families and southern settings.
