Publisher's blurb:
Narrator (in a deep, gravelly voice): This is the city of Los Angeles, the City of Angels, a sprawling metropolis perched on the edge of the American dream. But in the summer of 1966, the summer of love, the city was about to face a nightmare like no other—a nightmare from beyond the stars.
Meet Charlie Hanson, a man with a plan that could bring this city to its knees. But Charlie isn’t your typical threat; he is a vessel, a pawn, a host to an alien infestation unlike anything humanity has seen before.
As the summer of love blossoms, so does something far more sinister. Charlie is peddling a new kind of psychedelic trip, a drug that promises enlightenment but delivers something much darker: infestation and transformation into vessels of alien terror.
The Investigators are about to face a case like no other: What they think is a simple search for a record mogul’s daughter in the hipster hangouts of the hippie counterculture is actually a race against time to stop an alien invasion from taking over Los Angeles.
Welcome to Helter Skelter, a tale of terror, suspense, and cosmic body horror! Stay tuned as we delve into the shadows of sunny Los Angeles, where the battle for survival takes a psychedelic twist.
This Call of Cthulhu scenario should challenge 4-6 Investigators. The scenario starts at the glamorous New Year party of Rory Federigo, CEO of Monolith Records, who is launching his newest band at his swanky Hollywood Hills mansion. But Rory has no idea what is getting ready to crash his party.
