You enrolled in mysterious Miskatonic University, an institution created by the internationally. famous horror writer, H.P. Lovecraft. As proof, you clutch a diploma and a bundle of souvenirs. In his stories, Lovecraft imagined a handful of scholars and investigators burdened with knowledge of other dimensions and perilous entities, which the rest of the world could not comprehend.

Since Lovecraft wrote, Miskatonic U. has survived, thrived. and grown famous. Tales are still written about it; films are set there. You can enroll today.
