Author's summary:
Trish has been sent to Arkham to investigate Patrice, the spectacular violin prodigy who’s a few years past her prime and recently destroyed what remained of her career by having a screaming mental breakdown in the middle of a concert. Patrice retired quickly to Arkham, and Trish has been sent in search of a particular book which is theorized to be in the violinist’s possession. Her contacts told her that she’d know the book on sight—it’s the one bound in shagreen, with hasps of human bone. File size: 37 MB (mp3) | 12 MB (m4b)

Reader's notes and streaming at my original journal post
here. Now there will be TWO podfics in the Board Games category at the archive, yay!
Background knowledge for listeners: I don't think you need much background to appreciate this story, but just in case... Arkham Horror is a cooperative board game based off H. P. Lovecraft's works. The game is set in the 1920s (although this particular fic is set in the '30s) in the small town of Arkham, Massachussetts, where Unusual and Unpleasant Things happen frequently. Trish Scarborough and Patrice Hathaway are characters from one of the expansions (which I don't own and have not played, alas).
