Commencement at the Spookiest School in the World......You can enroll in mysterious Miskatonic University, an institution created by the internationally famous horror writer, H.P. Lovecraft. As proof, you can 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. Bizarre evidence, ancient writing and obscure coincidence gave weight to the threat of catastrophe. Only those few recognized the doom that threatened the world.
Since Lovecraft wrote, Miskatonic U. has survived, thrived, and grown famous. Tales are still written about it: films are set there.

Got this in 1988 and since then I have had a degree in arcane history!

Every Lovecraft fan should have this.
