Hello. At this point, I suspect I am supposed to write great hype on why you should buy this book, why it is the perfect gaming supplement, and why Call of Cthufhu is the best game ever. But I’m going to take those all as given. You aren’t here to read hype, one presumes, but mystery. Terror. Dark knowledge. Unknown secrets. Mind-shattering revelations of the true reality that underlies what we in our folly call truth.

Anyone who thinks this is just a book about a university might want to peruse college catalogs instead. This is a book about the archetypal institute, Miskatonic University. The place where secrets lurk that turn people’s minds to mush. It’s not a physical place, it is a place of ideas, spawned in the mind of Lovecraft and the Mythos writers who took up the challenge of his universe. The notion of Miskatonic has since become a nexus for the weird and unusual, one all the more so since most of the people never notice anything odd.
