Canis Mysterium

Canis Mysterium: A Scenario With Bite is an adventure supplement for the Call of Cthulhu horror roleplaying game. Published by Chaosium in May 2013, it was written by Scott Haartman and edited by Meghan McLean with cover art supplied by Colin Nitta and interior work by Eric York Canis Mysterium, p2 credits, Chaosium (2013). Both paperback and digital editions were released.
==Overview==
The storyline involves psychotic gravedigger Tobias Lurtz - heavily implied to have come from Ghoul stock - and his Ghoul companion as they attempt to use a forbidden text to raise an army of the dead and exact vengeance on the townsfolk of Coldwater Falls, who Lurtz believes have done him many grave injustices over the course of his life.
== Behind the Mythos ==
Despite the back cover claiming that a copy of H.P. Lovecraft's Arkham would be helpful in running this scenario, Arkham plays no appreciable role in the story - the vast majority of the action taking place in Coldwater Falls, a town located some 60 miles from Arkham Canis Mysterium, p10, Chaosium (2013) - and could easily be edited out entirely by the simple expediency of substituting a reason not involving Miskatonic University for the investigators to be pursuing a case in small town New England.
