The 1920s. The Jazz Age. The United States is beaming after its victory in World War I and its new standing as the chief economic engine of the world. But, amidst this good cheer, there lurks evil. This is where Patrick Midnight comes in. He is a secret agent working for the Society of Gentlemen Geographers-a powerful and well-connected private organization of American financiers, European nobility, and former British Army officers. Midnight is their man for any task, from artifact retrieval to espionage.
But Midnight is not alone. He is haunted quite literally by the spirit of an ancestral shade named Reverend Increase Blackstone, a 17th-century Puritan militia captain and preacher who damned his soul by committing especially sanguinary deeds during King Philip's War. Together, Midnight and Blackstone take on human and inhuman evil armed with a .25 automatic and rapier.
The Casebook of Patrick Midnight is a thrilling, two-fisted, old-time pulp collection of action-horror tales in far-flung and familiar locales. In The Adventure of the Silver Cross, Midnight and Blackstone rush to stop a Bolshevik plot to profane a holy relic in Mexico, while The Mystery of Gearhart's Beach pits the two heroes against both Japanese spies and eldritch cultists. This collection is a surefire hit for all lovers of thrilling mysteries and classic horror.
ARBOGAST is the author of the noir-horror novella The Shanghai Horror (Bizarchives, 2022) and the short story collection The Emperor of the Mountain (1325 Publishing, 2023). His work has appeared in Terror House, Apocalypse Confidential, and The Bizarchives.
