What it is about

The Curse of Cthulhu Book 1 - These Strange and Deadly Shores You’re a long way from home, but your expenses are being paid and then some. And how hard can it be? All you have to do is retrieve some ugly ornament and take it home. Customs won’t even take a second look at it. The year is 1913, and you play a private investigator sent to retrieve a strange idol from a remote Scottish island. Only problem is, the island is inhabited by cultists who'd happily see you perish than give up their sacred statue. It's up to you to choose your path, navigating the island's gothic cathedral and outlying rooms, chapels, graveyards and tombs, keeping as low a profile as possible, and only resorting to your gun when you have no other option. Keep your conspicuous low, and seek out clues and objects on your way. Use your range of skills to navigate the pathways and people within. Not everyone you meet will be an enemy, and it's up to you to choose who to trust and who to fight. You probably won’t make it through on your first attempt (nor second, nor third), but don’t despair! Re-enter the island and forge a new path toward your goal. Be aware your actions will affect the outcomes of other encounters later in this book as well as the remaining books in the series; choose what sort of person you are and live with the consequences!
