Featured in this issue is a new Call of Cthulhu scenario by our very own Paul Fricker, entitled “Step Into My Parlour”.
New York City is a dangerous place in the 1880s, all the more so for the presence of the so-called Spider Gang. The strange drugs they peddle warp both mind and body. A desperate fight for survival begins as the investigators find themselves caught in the gang’s web…
The cover comes from our good friend and comics legend Evan Dorkin, whose work has graced many previous Tomes.
