| − | At last I’ve been given the nod from the powers that be to announce ATOMIC AGE CTHULHU, a book about Call of Cthulhu role-playing in the 1950s and I’m really psyched for this book for a number of reasons. First and foremost is that I love the massive amount of fear and paranoia lying just below the "everything is wonderful here" façade of the 1950s and it always seemed to me to be the perfect time to set a CoC game. More to the point, this book looks to be killer. It has a sourcebook filled with a bunch of 50s background info, new skills, and new investigator types. There are seven wonderfully varied scenarios by a great collection of authors that CoC fans are sure to recognize. And to end things right, there are over twenty sinister seeds to help Keepers looking to run an extended 1950s CoC game.

| |
| − | | |
| − | The Seven Scenarios are:
| |
| − | * [[This Village was Made for Us]] by Christopher Smith Adair: in a closed community devoted to exploring the new found wonders of the atomic age, alien horrors conduct their own experiments and our wellbeing does not factor into their calculations.
| |
| − | * [[L.A. Diabolical]] by Brian Courtemanche: It's Tinsel Town and the rich and famous want to dabble with the chic side of darkness for kicks, but when something from the darkness starts playing with them, the fun quickly ends.
| |
| − | * [[Destroying Paradise, Hawai'ian Style]] by Michael Dziesinski: blue skies, loud shirts, surfing and a king of rock n’ roll making a movie, what could possible go wrong? Well when the horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos combine with the horror of nuclear weapons, what do you think?
| |
| − | * [[High Octane]] by Tom Lynch: slick hotrods, dirty and dangerous bikers, a commie plot, and a once slumbering menace starting to stir, will the investigators be able to keep the lid on this pressure cooker or are things going to blow as the fear continues to mount?
| |
| − | * [[The Return of Old Reliable]] by Oscar Rios: The space race, still in its infancy, gives birth to a world-threatening horror no one could have seen coming.
| |
| − | * [[Forgotten Wars]] by Brian M. Sammons: The Korean "conflict", never formally classified as a war, and yet technically still underway today, pales in comparison to the aeons long battle between two ancient enemies, and a US Army tank crew gets caught in the middle.
| |
| − | * [[TV Casualty]] by Matt Sanborn: Television: newfangled technological wonder, or dreaded idiot box looking to enslave us all? Could the answer to both questions be yes?
| |

| − | '''Scenarios:''' [[This Village was Made for Us]], [[L.A. Diabolical]], [[Destroying Paradise, Hawai’ian Style]], [[High Octane]], [[The Return of Old Reliable]], [[Forgotten Wars]], [[TV Casualty]]
