A roleplaying sourcebook for investigating cosmic horrors in the 1890s, when Cthulhu and his minions threaten the British Empire and humanity. It details period skills, social classes, politics, travel, London locations, policing, criminal activity, occult practices, clothing, costs, and everyday life, with maps, timelines, biographies, and guidance for bringing investigators from other eras into the setting.
