  Ace Ventura meets the Addams Family!   A shambling horde of new cases hits Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. in the Unnatural Quarter. Dan and his gang—including his ghost girlfriend, feisty lawyer partner, cop best friend, and little vampire half-daughter Alvina—are out to seek justice, solve mysteries, and keep their heads on straight … or at least attached.   Alvina’s singing lessons for the Banshee Tabernacle Choir end on a sour note when the troll choir director plunges to her death from a high belfry, and the only witness is a deaf-as-a-post gargoyle who sits too close to the loud bells.   A frustrated imp, woefully unsuccessful in betting on the nightmare races, is dead certain that his bookie BatGN (GN for “gender neutral” to avoid copyright issues) is cheating him.   Francine, the salty bartender at the Goblin Tavern, is worried when One Fang the vampire—her on-again, off-again suitor—disappears without a trace.   A shady vendor discovers a market for living shrunken heads that are conversational as well as decorative, but the demand by far exceeds the supply.   A heartless therapist has ulterior motives when she counsels zombies, distracting them from their woes to concentrate not just on brains, but on self-improvement as well.   There is much at stake in the Unnatural Quarter, and it’s up to Dan Shamble to keep the streets dark and safe for monsters and humans alike. After all, the cases don’t solve themselves!   This zombie detective puts the P.I. back in R.I.P.

  The Salem Horror

  In the shadow-haunted streets of Salem, a writer named Carson rents a crumbling old house to finish his next novel. But the strange scratching in the cellar walls leads him to a hidden chamber—the fabled Witch Room of Abigail Prinn, a 17th-century sorceress whose name still chills the locals. Within its mosaic-lined floor and lightless black stone, something ancient stirs… something that whispers from beyond the gulf between matter and thought. As Carson’s nights become filled with unremembered dreams and his will begins to slip, an occultist named Michael Leigh warns of a cosmic horror known as Nyogtha—the Dweller in Darkness—straining to breach the world through Carson himself. 
  First published in Weird Tales in May 1937, Henry Kuttner’s pulp classic blends New England witchcraft, cosmic dread, and the fevered paranoia of Lovecraftian horror. This is a tale of an undead witch’s vengeance, an inhuman god’s awakening, and one man’s descent into a nightmare from which there may be no escape.
