This all-new Arkham Gazette Bundle presents The Arkham Gazette, the Miskatonic Country magazine from Sentinel Hill Press for Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu. Since 2013 each big issue of The Arkham Gazette has covered one area in depth of the New England region formerly called "Lovecraft Country" (not to be confused with the unrelated 2020 HBO Max TV series Lovecraft Country). From crumbling, whisper-haunted Arkham to decaying Innsmouth to the fog-draped village of Kingsport, The Arkham Gazette is your guide to local sites of interest, curiosities, odd citizens, peculiar histories, and books of forbidden lore. Each issue includes a full-length scenario for Call of Cthulhu Sixth or Seventh Edition, high-quality handouts, and a full bibliography of relevant published scenarios.

Historically, Cthulhu Mythos magazines have ranged across many subjects not obviously Lovecraftian, and The Arkham Gazette continues that fine tradition. Gazette editor Bret Kramer says, "Arkham Gazette articles draw from a mix of resources – setting materials, history, folklore, Mythos fiction – and while each issue is focused on a place or topic in relation to Miskatonic Country, many articles have a wider remit. For example, the tome pieces might describe a particular De Vermis Mysteriis found in Kingsport, but all the background information on that tome is universal. Ditto our pieces on Deep One gold, the Feejee mermaid, or witches' familiars. Other items apply not just to Arkham and Innsmouth, but to New England generally."

Bret Kramer, aka "WinstonP," has a long CoC resume: He contributed to the Cthulhu Britannica line and to The Unspeakable Oath magazine. For the Delta Green RPG starter rulebook Need to Know, Bret wrote the introductory scenario "Last Things Last," every covert operative's first encounter with Mythos weirdness. In 2015-2017 Bret masterminded the Masks of Nyarlathotep Companion, a limited-edition 700-page supplement (now unavailable, alas) to the legendary CoC campaign.
