==Contents==
This book aims to present gazetteer-based source material for modern-day Arkham, using largely the same form as [[Arkham Unveiled]] did
to describe the city in the 1920s era.

While the modern-day Arkham has many connections to its earlier incarnation, there is no direct borrowing of material from the earlier
book.

As with previous location sourcebooks from Chaosium, this book begins with several short sections providing general descriptions of different
aspects of the social or cultural life of modern-day Arkham residents. Most of the remainder of the book is made up of a series of gazetteer
entries that describe different locations and individuals which may be useful when running ''Call of Cthulhu'' scenarios in the setting. For
this book, the city itself is described in eight "neighborhood" gazetteers with an additional section describing outlying sites. Three

scenarios round out the book.

The chapters of the book are:
* Introduction
* Welcome to Arkham
* Town Directory
* Northside
* Downtown
* East-Town
* Merchant Section
* Rivertown
* Miskatonic University Campus
* French Hill
* Uptown
* The Outskirts
* Scenario: [[Lonely Hearts (Taste Great)]]
* Scenario: [[Lost in a Book]]
* Scenario: [[I Did What The Virgin Asked]]

Revisiting the Legend-Haunted City

'''Arkham Now'''

ARKHAM NOW updates to modern times the famous and fabled city of Arkham for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game.

Most residents believe there is only one horror lurking in this legendary haunted town — the urban sprawl slowly eroding Arkham’s old New
England beauty. Rushing by neon signs and mega-marts to obtain even more material possessions, no one notices the more disturbing, underlying
qualities of the city: the grotesque vegetation sprouting in some places, the sometimes-odd taste from the reservoir’s drinking water, the
disturbingly high rate of birth defects, the too-frequent child abductions.

Those who make inquires are scoffed at by citizens, and rebuffed by local and state officials. The truly brave continue to put the pieces
together, posting their thoughts on the Internet. Many of these individuals disappear from cyberspace eventually — often due to the effects
some of these discoveries can have on one’s mental health.
Though they would never admit it, many of the long time residents of Arkham know there is something not quite right about their town...

==Comments / Trivia==
This book is the first new sourcebook in Chaosium's "Lovecraft Country" series in 17 years; it is also the first book which aims to
produce an updated (in this case "future") version of an existing sourcebook without being a direct revision of the original material.

Chaosium sell the fold-out map of modern-day Arkham as a separate item; it can also be purchased as a PDF (which has, at times
been given away as a promotional item).

Chaosium offers one of the scenarios from this book as a free PDF download.
