Fiction[]

SEEING IS BELIEVING[]

Even while growing up in Arkham, Darrell always knew that there was something not quite right about the strange little town. After graduating from high school, he went to work for the Arkham Advertiser as a photographer, and in the years since, he's crawled over every square inch of the city.

Last night, however, Darrell saw something horrible-- something that has shaken his world to its core and torn away the safe illusions we all foster to protect our minds and our souls. His editor says he was just seeing things, but as he leaves the newspaper building, he knows just what he saw and he intends to show the world! This time he'll be more careful. This time he'll take pictures and prove that things are not normal in Arkham.[1]

His editor says he's just seeing things, but Darrell Simmons knows what he saw. He grew up in Arkham, and he's no stranger to the peculiar things that are known to happen here. However, this is different. He had never seen something so terrible in his entire life, and he has cursed himself every day since for not having his camera on him to prove to everyone that he's not making this up. If they won't believe his words, maybe they'll believe his pictures when they are published in the Arkham Advertiser. Now he's seeking out the terror that's been haunting his dreams ever since that night, and he knows he's getting closer. This time he'll be careful. This time he'll come prepared. And, most importantly, this time he'll take pictures.[2][3]
