Mystery of Arkham Manor

I'm the Editor of the Tackley Times, a multi-national newspaper covering the area around Tackley. Our ace reporter, Pete Trowel, is guaranteed to dig us up a tacky tale. Arkham Village is in the middle of nowhere not far from Tackley, and this is where our tale is set early in the 1920's. The King was reigning, so everyone was getting very wet, all except Pete Trowel he's the ace of spades which is probably what he uses to keep dry. Arkham Village, near Tackley - dead dogs, gates, strange lights and ghosts, all of which added up to what we thought was the Apocalypse now. An assignment for Pete Trowel, scent to pick up the trail and uncover the buried truth.

What relevance Arkham Manor has to this Tackley tale was far from clear but with Pete Trowel's money back guarantee, we knew we would find out or claim a full refund.
