West of Arkham, the town of Aylesbury is an outpost of modernity on the edge of darkness. But out here, even the light becomes strange and sour, and reveals things best left unseen...
Description:
West of Arkham, the hills rise wild. An unwholesome air clings to their dark slopes, and strange things whisper in the shadows of the trees. But the town of Aylesbury is a bastion of light against this primordial gloom, an outpost of modernity on the edge of darkness. But out here, even the light becomes strange and sour, and reveals things best left unseen...
The tramp steamer Star of Mauritius is found drifting outside New York, a dead man at her helm. The rest of the crew is missing, presumed lost overboard. What secrets lie within her rusting hull?
"All I ask is that you see the hill, then look me in the eye and tell me whether or not I have lost whatever marbles I still possess." Whatever could your cousin's mysterious letter mean?
Description:
Your cousin Andrew has moved into his father's house in the countryside after falling into hard times during the Depression, and having no other choice. You've always known he didn't like the house, and his most recent letter suggests he's gone a bit strange in his isolation, and seeing unexplainable things:
"The neighbours saw they saw and heard nothing that night. In the cold light of day, I fear that they might be right, that I am losing my mind. Could you come out for a weekend, maybe? Like old times. I will put you up and give you a good meal, you and anyone else you care to bring. Make a holiday out of it!" All he asks is that you investigate the odd hill the house stands on, and tell him whether or not he's lost his mind.
