In Arkham, Massachusetts, stands a university steeped in mystery and legend. After its human students have left for their dormitories, its haunted halls often host phantasms of things unspeakable. Its classrooms are never truly empty. Its auditorium reverberates to ghosts of words chanted in other planes. Its library guards tomes not written by human hand.

Tell us about those times when no human foot strides the halls of nighted Miskatonic University. Reveal to us the truth behind the unexplained sounds from the science wing, the murmuring from the rooms dedicated to music and art. Uncover to us the meaning of those words drawn in blood there in the basement. Show us the actual workings of the late night denizens who brave those passageways.

We welcome tales of supernatural and psychological horror, but remember there are still limits.

• Sexual content not inherent to the storyline.
• Explicit description of torture or sacrifice, human or otherwise.
• Violence or abuse against a minor, infant to teenager.
• Overuse of profane language.
• Hate language against a race, creed, or gender.
• Quoting previously published material not in the public domain.
