Five Tales for a Not-So-Silent Night

Some time ago we asked you to submit adventures concerning the holiday season. This monograph contains five tales certain to scare the stockings off the mantle.

Set in Arkham in December of 2001¸ this tale involves four investigators gathered to celebrate the season¸ the mythos far away for the moment.

The investigators are invited to Porterhouse College for a Christmas lecture series¸ and attendance at a great holiday feast called The Gaudy.

Sometimes the merest glimpse of horror is enough to trigger dire events which make your trip to Venice a nightmare to forget.

Snow falls over the seaport town¸ its winding streets covered with ribbons of white. Smoke rises from the chimneys with the smells of chestnuts¸ cookies¸ and roast goose filling the air. Once again the family is together again at the home of Great Aunt Norma.

The period following World War I finds a world in change; an exciting time to be alive. Revolutions sweep the collapsing empires of eastern Europe. This tale is set in 1919 in Siberia during the Russian civil war.

MISKATONIC UNIVERSITY LIBRARY ASSOCIATION monographs are longer works by one or more authors on a subject of import to Call of Cthulhu roleplayers. On these products the author has also fulfilled the functions of editor and layout artist; we at Chaosium have done little in the way of editorial. We found these works compelling and thought that you would enjoy them. Through the publication of monographs we can offer our most loyal fans more information more easily¸ and evaluate the potential of these works for eventual release to the wholesale market.
