Love & Death In The Miskatonic Valley
It's Spring time in 1955. Twenty-four-year-old, Sterling Rice, is a second-year grad student at Arkham, Massachusetts's prestigious, Miskatonic University. He is also the son of Professor Warren Rice, one of the three university faculty members to thwart the Dunwich Horror back in 1928. Born and raised in Arkham, Sterling does not see his home as a 'dark town' even though that is how it is described by outsiders. He spends his days writing his dissertation, working as a housing assistant in the boy's dormitory, lighting the campus lamps in the evenings, and jousting with his ex-girlfriend, Sandra Heinz. Sterling is almost always accompanied by his German Shepard, Sarge, an overly large canine descended from the very watchdog that brought down the creepy, Wilbur Whateley, twenty-six years before, when the uncanny brute tried to make off with the Necronomicon from the university library; a book of magic written by the Mad Arab Abdul Alhazred. Now something is brewing in Arkham. The appearance of the 'Shadowman' on campus, along with a library break-in, reminiscent of the one back in 1928, raises alarms. This time, though, the burglar achieves their goal, absconding with the ancient book. Sterling uncovers a diabolical plot prompting him to seek the counsel of certain faculty members as well as his intimate friend, the seductive but ingenious, Claudia Osborn. They soon discover that not only do wicked men have plans for the vile book with its destructive conjurations, but also, for the two scholarly lovers.
