Summary
“And once all of this is done” He continued instead, with new words “You must sail again. Pick up an oar, travel as far as the Pillars of Hercules, and further more. Until you reach a place where people don’t know the of ships that fly on ocean waves. When a traveller will ask you if what you have with you is a fan to winnow grain, you’ll know you have found the land you are searching for. There, where no one knows what the ocean is, you will plant your oar in the ground and build a temple for the God of the sea. At last, you will be allowed to get back home, live to the end of your years and die a painless death, far from the sea”
A continuation of the story inspired by the prophecy spoken by Tiresias in the original Odyssey.
(And yes this is gay, I love the ship sue me)

Summary
John Lester. Arthur thought about him carrying that name around everywhere he went and grit his teeth like he was chewing sand. It was his own damned fault for telling John to pick whatever he wanted; he’d had plenty of opportunity to lay down ground rules, it wasn’t John’s fault Arthur had run out of other Lesters quite some time ago with no plans to bolster numbers.
Not that he’d been much more enthused to gift his name to Bella. Why couldn’t he seem to stop comparing the scrap of the King in Yellow he’d stolen to his dead wife?
(In which John and Arthur take up private investigating together once they find their way out of the Dreamlands and into separate bodies.)

Summary
After Addison, Arthur and John didn't go to New York - they just went home, and set up shop in as PIs in Arkham. Now several months later, having completed work for a wealthy client, they find themselves invited to a fancy dinner party with New England's elite occultists. But among the rich and famous diners are two unexpected guests: "Andrew" Larson, Arthur's one time nemesis, and Peter Yang, back from the dead but not quite right. After an awkward dinner, and an introduction to a mysterious supernatural artifact, a corpse is discovered. It's up to Arthur and John to solve the murder and stop the artifact before it unleashes its eldritch magic on them all.
Or is it? Maybe instead, Arthur and Peter fool around in the back room and they miss the drama. Maybe Arthur and John can stop the murder entirely. In this Choose Your Own Adventure there are multiple endings and more than one way to make it to midnight.

Summary
After the deaths of his wife and daughter, a heartbroken Arthur Lester forsakes Earth for an opportunity aboard an intergalactic space station, populated by strange species from every corner of the galaxy. He answers an ad for an apartment for rent, and learns his would-be roommate “John Doe” [Name: Untranslatable into Human Speech] is a member of an alien species to which humans have a violent—and often fatal—visual reaction.
Arthur, blinded following the accident which left him widowed, decides to give the arrangement a go.
Yet as friendship kindles and they grow closer, Arthur learns that John’s past, as full of secrets as John himself, harbors not only terrifying mysteries of old gods, but a growing threat. One which will force both John and Arthur to the edge of known space, and back to the shores of the Lake of Hali, to face a darkness which threatens all of Carcosa.
