On two previous occasions earlier this year, heavy-set high-school students went missing. The police investigated the disappearances, but found no evidence of foul play. So each case was ruled as a runaway. Now a third kid has gone missing,		* [[The Lock-In]] by Jon Hook. Some of the fat kids at Arkham High are missing, but no one seems to care.

	* [[The Ilsley Variant]] by Rick Hudson. The artist Miles Gedney has always been sensitive to strange influences, and after one particularly vivid dream he painted The King on the Throne. In many ways this painting, despite its quality, is unremarkable; it depicts a sombre ancient king sat upon a stone throne and there are no overtly supernatural or unrealistic elements depicted in it. However, the painting portrays an inscription above the throne in an unknown language.		* [[The Ilsley Variant]] by Rick Hudson.

	* [[The Great Old Ones On The Great White Way]] by Joseph M. Isenberg. The 1920's saw the perfection of American musical theater, perhaps one of the few innovative contributions of the United States to world culture. Composers such as Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Jerome Kern, Richard Rogers and George Gershwin, among others, invented what subsequently became the quintessential American musical form. The coincident flourishing of musical theater and horror writing seems to call for a response. Thus, we see in the year 2011 the premiere of "Herbert West, Re-Animator, the Musical," at the Steve Allen Theater in Los Angeles.		* [[The Great Old Ones On The Great White Way]] by Joseph M.

	* [[The Costume Party]] by ~~Time~~ Moriarty. One of the players in the group receiving an invitation from the eccentric millionaire Andrew Cromley to a costume party on Halloween in the mansion on Crossroads Island found several miles off the coast of Maine. Crossroads Island is famous for ancient rituals that were performed by Native Americans on the site for centuries. Early in the 19th century, a large mansion had been built on the tiny island by a secretive religious order. There were rumors of different rituals being performed by this group for a number of years before they mysteriously all disappeared and were never heard from again. The mansion had remained abandoned for several decades before it was purchased and restored by Cromley. You are free to bring as many friends as you wish.		* [[The Costume Party]] by Tim Moriarty.

	* [[Lemuralia]] by Oscar Rios. The Roman calendar has many holidays, festivals and holy days. The time is approaching for the feast of Lemuralia, three sacred days (May 9th, 11th and 13th) when all good Romans perform rites to exorcize the unwholesome spirits of the dead from their homes. This was accomplished by making offerings of beans and mola salsa, special salted flower cakes made by the Vestigial Virgins from the first ears of wheat of a harvesting season. Such gifts usually were enough to satisfy the restless dead for another year, but every once in an unfortunate while the dead aren’t so easily appeased.		* [[Lemuralia]] by Oscar Rios.

For children, Halloween brings to mind candy and costumes, wearing a mask and saying the magic words "trick or treat". For some adults Halloween is a time of physical and spiritual transition. The earth is shedding its skin like dead leaves falling, and men reflect in fear on the past gone by. It is a time when the connection between our meaningless existence and the damned is at its closest.

Here are nine Halloween adventures.

* [[Fear in a Bottle]] by John A. Almack. Wherein the investigators follow the trail of a dead thief,find clues about an ancient evil and learn what they have to fear in a bottle.

* [[The Lock-In]] by John Hook. Some of the fat kids at Arkham High are missing, but no one seems to care. On two previous occasions earlier this year, heavy-set high-school students went missing.

However, the painting portrays an inscription above the throne in an unknown language.

* [[The Confessions of St. Augustine, Chapter CCLXVIII]] by Tim Hutchings. Your band of Investigators have led long, hard lives doing the world one good turn after another. You’ve fought eldritch evil, Nazis, dark things from beyond – alien threats are commonplace to you. Through it all you’ve kept a tenuous grasp on your sanity and your ethics. You are good people who have done great things, and now is your time to rest. You’ve earned it, but there’s one last thing you need to do, one last project is soon coming to its culmination. Now lets all listen to the radio and wait for morning ...
