Hardboiled Horror: Noir Mystery Meets Supernatural Terror

There's something out there in the dark.

There's always something watching.

There's always something reaching for you.

Always.

And sometimes there's someone you can call. Someone you can hire. Someone who knows these dark streets and back alleys. Someone who knows how things work in this part of town. Private eyes who are often as dark as the things they hunt. Investigators who know how to look in the shadows for the things that go bump. Good guys but not always nice guys.
