Chaosium Stock #2333 Kingsport is a coastal town located a morning's stroll from Arkham. Draped in mists and fog, it is home to artists and fishermen, sailors and dreamers. Here dreams and reality mingle to an unsettling degree. Some find solace in such dreams; others find only terror and death. Charles Baxter's dreams drove him to despair. He took his own life, throwing himself into the sea. The only clues to his demise: a water-soaked collection of poems. Horrors exist in the real world of Kingsport as well, remnants of an ancient witch-cult that once infested the town. Unspeakable things crawl through their burrows beneath Central Hill and lurk in the fogs off Jersey Reef, preying on fishermen and unsuspecting tourists alike. Kingsport's soothing atmosphere and beautiful setting beckons to vacationers. Its perch on the brink of the dreamworld inspires artists. Investigators come to Kingsport to find understanding of the dark realms of the Cthulhu Mythos. Kingsport describes this fabled Massachusetts town in meticulous detail its important personalities, buildings, history, and its weird people and places. This book also features a fold-out players' map of the town, a tourist brochure describing places of interest, and three new adventures.
