Arkham

Arkham is a fictional city in Massachusetts, a couple of hours distance from Boston, Massachusetts. H. P. Lovecraft set many of his stories there and Cthulhu Mythos writers have continued to feature the town in stories written since his death. Arkham is the home of the equally fictional Miskatonic University.
