Mind the Students
June 1923

The happenings a few months ago have piqued Professors Nolan and Graves’ interest. They’re camped out at the Arkin place west of Dunwich to investigate the rift discovered by them and members of Miskatonic Society. According to Graves, it seems to have lost power, and has been deemed “safe” by the good professors. Now, Professor Nolan claims to have discovered irrefutable evidence that the original Book of Eibon is secreted somewhere in an underground complex. Nolan has sent an urgent request for some more volunteers from the University to help investigate. Nolan’s query came with a mixture of excitement, fear and…something else. By the request of the University, the Miskatonic Society is sending investigators to Dunwich to find out what is happening, and secure the safety of the Miskatonic students, if necessary.

Whiskey in the West End
June 1923

A friend of the Society on the Boston Police force has brought us some interesting information. Lt. Benjamin Alexander is concerned that the disappearances of several known drunks in the city’s West End are connected. While the BPD is content to consider the cases of missing rummies low-priority, Lt. Alexander thinks this might be related to a bad batch of whiskey that was recently uncovered in a warehouse operated by Declan McBride in the same area. Based on the shipping records uncovered in a raid of one of McBride’s warehouses, it looks like this batch came from Blackwater Creek, MA—the site of a recent Society investigation.
