I’d like to dedicate this tome to the people who were a part of my 15-year Call of Cthulhu group/campaign. Over the years,
players came and went, and we had many strange adventures together (some of which ended up in print). My scenarios weren’t
always as successful as I’d wanted, but a few did genuinely scare some people, and those are moments I shall treasure forever!
The major players in my Call of Cthulhu gaming group to whom I owe so much to are: Amy Adkins, Steve Aniolowski, Karen
Beningo, Tim Bush, Will Ehgoetz, Clif Ganyard, Paula Ganyard, Paula Garlock, Greg Gerstung, Brian Hutchens, Nathan
Hutchings, Bill Koonz, Mike Lesner, Lisa Leverock, Dan Long, Scott Mawhiney, Mike Szymanski, Rob Watkins, and Greg
Zuba. It was many years and many people, and I’m sure I’ve forgotten some names: to those fine folks I sincerely apologize.
—Scott David Aniolowski, 2006
Dedicated to Matt Anderson, a fellow seeker of monsters and secrets.
