A note for parents

The Last Ritual is an adult horror novel set in the Arkham Horror universe, featuring eldritch horror themes and psychological dread rather than graphic action. While not excessively gory, it contains sustained cosmic horror, disturbing imagery, and mature themes of manipulation and reality distortion that are inappropriate for younger teens. The book is aimed at adult horror fans and is best suited for readers comfortable with horror conventions and existential threat scenarios.

A mad surrealist’s art threatens to rip open the fabric of reality, in this twisted tale of eldritch horror and conspiracy, from the wildly popular world of Arkham Horror. Aspiring painter Alden Oakes is invited to join a mysterious art commune in Arkham: the New Colony. When celebrated Spanish surrealist Juan Hugo Balthazarr visits the colony, Alden and the other artists quickly fall under his charismatic spell. Balthazarr throws a string of decadent parties for Arkham’s social elite, conjuring arcane illusions which blur the boundaries between nightmare and reality. Only slowly does Alden come to suspect that Balthazarr’s mock rituals are intended to break through those walls and free what lies beyond. Alden must act, but it might already be too late to save himself, let alone Arkham.
