The Saltwater Inheritance

ADD TO WISHLIST >

In 1925, the investigators are invited to conduct some historical research at the D’Estrier Estate, near the peaceful English sea-side village of Saltwater. Simon D’Estrier welcomes the visitors as a distraction after the recent death of his father Thomas, tragically swept off the rocks while walking. As they delve into the past of his mysterious medieval ancestor William D’Estrier, a looming horror begins to threaten the present…

“The Saltwater Inheritance” is an early scenario by serial Call of Cthulhu author and editor Mark Morrison. It was written between “Crack’d and Crook’d Manse” (Mansions of Madness) and “Land of Lost Dreams” (H.P. Lovecraft’s Dreamlands), but has never been published until now. It came runner-up in a White Dwarf magazine scenario competition, which is kind of like winning second prize in a beauty contest, but with more tentacles.

Like the D’Estrier inheritance in the story it has lurched up out of the past, exactly as it was written in 1985, albeit updated for Call of Cthulhu 7th edition and with a new afterword by Morrison explaining how the scenario originally came to be, almost came not to be, and finally fished up here on the Miskatonic Repository after three decades of silence.

It’s either a cracking piece of old school Call of Cthulhu investigation or an early work that lay unpublished for good reason, and probably a little bit of both. Either way, it’s an enjoyably horrible time by the sea, just the thing for a one session game. Just remember, when wading through Treacher’s Marsh after dark, bring shotguns and galoshes…

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
