Taker of Souls

Overview

Miskatonic seal ME-1919-C88/1961 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `taker-of-souls`.

Taker of Souls enters the archive under protest from reason and with sponsorship from repeated evidence.

We would delete Taker of Souls if deletion worked; instead we classify, cross-link, and warn.

New England incidents teach a rhythm: polite towns, old families, water or hills that smell wrong, then a paper trail ending in sanitariums. Taker of Souls may or may not follow that rhythm — check dates before you blame Cthulhu for a Vermont landslide.

Cross-reference before fieldwork; cite slug in all reports; do not bring back souvenirs that pulse.

Earliest stack mention is a photocopy of a photocopy of Latin marginalia — chain of custody unsuitable for court, sufficient for caution.

Field Observations

If dreams arrive with the weight of memory for places never visited, terminate contact.

The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.

Archive Notes
