description: Miskatonic University in fabled Arkham Massachusetts has long been described in the fiction of H.P. Lovecraft and his successors. Here in the library under lock and key are some of the worlds most dangerous books most famously the dreaded Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred. There was a notably unpleasant incident in the late 1920s when a certain Wilbur Whateley tried to steal that particular volume and met a hideous fate. Fortunately that time at least the head librarian and his colleagues were able to save the Earth from the dreadful danger of the Dunwich Horror. How safe are Miskatonics security precautions and what has perhaps disappeared from or appeared in the collection since? What other creepy maddening extra-dimensional or even sentient tomes reside on those forbidden shelves? What strange events have taken place among the stacks? Is there an inter-library loan system? Who or what comes after miscreants who fail to return books on time? In the modern digital age what would happen if some of the content escaped over the Internet? Are some of the books or all of them little more than slowly ticking time bombs? And what dare we ask can be found in the Cooking Section? If you learn all the secrets of the Miskatonic University Library will you go mador just wish you had? A feast of bibliographical horrors by Don Webb Adrian Cole Dirk Flinthart Harry Turtledove P.D. Cacek Will Murray A.C. Wise Marilyn Mattie Brahen Douglas Wynne Alex Shvartsman James Van Pelt Robert M. Price and Darrell Schweitzer. If you learn all the secrets of the Miskatonic University Library will you go mador just wish you had?
