The Book of the New Jerusalem

Written as a companion to Fearful Symmetries for Trail of Cthulhu, The Book of the New Jerusalem serves as a Keeper’s resource. It also functions as an in-game artifact for any Mythos game. It even stands alone as an entertaining guide to English folklore.

The Secret War is coming to England. Will you be ready?

It is 1927.  As Britain continues her slow recovery, August Darcy, a young journalist, is seized with a strange obsession.  He must recover the very essence of England – her traditions, customs, and legends – and he must do that even at the cost of his livelihood; even if he loses the woman who is to be his wife.

Then, in the early 1930s, England experiences the first portents of a magical war. Darcy’s mythic sites are the hidden battle fields; and that forbidden knowledge, the esoteric ordnance of the forthcoming conflict.

The Book is replete with mythic sites, occult rumours, and clues which will guide you on your quest for forbidden knowledge.

Within these covers lie the author’s never-before-published early writings from The Book of the Smoke. Sketches of English life appear alongside private letters and diary extracts. Together, they offer an extraordinary insight into the victim of England’s most notorious occult crime. These are not romantic longings for a lost golden age. Instead, they remind us that old terrors still linger at the edge of modernity.
