Summary
Arthur is a pianist at a seemingly-idyllic island resort that is adding more and more androids to their staff ranks. For a man with a troubled past, it's paradise - and terribly easy to ignore the dangers that lurk beneath. He finds that the company is pressuring Parker Yang, the head of security, to undergo unwanted cybernetic surgeries in order to approve his efficiency. Desperate to find a way to save his friend, Arthur teams up with an unusual android named John. Together, they find that the secrets to Carcosa Resorts are buried deep - and sometimes what is dredged from the deep cannot be put back.

Summary
Some time ago, the ship Myriad was conducting an incredibly important, top-secret research mission. It vanished without a trace. As he is wont to do, the Meritocratic spy Oscar Wilde wrote a play about it. Later, when the Myriad is located, Wilde is sent to investigate.
There he finds three things: a derelict ship that is on the cusp of exploding, dozens of murdered victims, and one lone dwarf that claims he can't remember what happened. Already, this is shaping up to be worse than his play. He must work with his prisoner Zolf in order to determine not only what is wrong with the Myriad and how to stop it, but what role he is precisely meant to play. For the first time, Wilde is not the playwright, the man behind the scenes - he is the leading man.

Summary
Arthur and Parker are modern-era ghosthunters in Arkham: Parker the believer and Arthur the skeptic. They receive a tip from Eddie that his family owns a tantalizingly spooky mansion out in the woods... but when they arrive, they find an abandoned old manor on its last legs.
Angry they got conned, they nevertheless start exploring. Between the ghost wailing in the attic for her lost child and the malevolent poltergeist who croons secrets that only Arthur can hear, the ghosthunters may have gotten more than they bargained for - and, if the ghosts have their way, they may not ever leave.

Summary
Six months after Myriad, Wilde receives word that an unconscious Sasha Racket has been found at the bottom of an archaeological site in Rome: more than two years after her supposed "death". To re-orient Sasha back into the world (and investigate other reports of people coming back from the dead), Wilde invites Zolf, Hamid, and Azu to stay at his inn. They're hardly a happy family - each have their own secrets and motivations, and the stagnation leaves Zolf furiously impatient.
Around all this, the world staggers to recover from the abrupt lack of magic and breakdowns in communication - and not all of them have their eyes towards the future. Some desperately want someone to blame for what happened, and soon, Wilde becomes aware of a revolutionary group that wants their heads. Despite the maelstrom of uncertainty, Wilde can always rely on his team.

Everything inside Noel has felt dead for so long - but there is something to Oscar's company and relentless support that makes Noel want to wake up.
