Monroe, with a cover by Lee Gibbons and illustrations by Tim Callender, and was published by Chaosium in 1990 as a 160 page book with a removal large map and a removable tabloid newspaper.[1]
Shannon Appelcline noted that Keith Herber started his work on Call of Cthulhu with the fourth edition role book, and following that "Herber spearheaded a very successful set of Lovecraftian setting books beginning with Akham Unveiled (1990). The series would run through Escape from Innsmouth (1992), though they have been reprinted many times since in many different forms."[2]: 90
Reception
[edit]Wayne Ligon reviewed Arkham Unveiled in White Wolf #26 (April/May, 1991), rating it a 4 out of 5 and stated that "There are many more stories in Arkham, mentioned in passing throughout the text, with several 'bombs' just waiting for the right time to go off. The Keeper should have no trouble creating dozens of adventures from these notes."[3]
