Reception

[edit]

In his 2023 book Monsters, Aliens, and Holes in the Ground, RPG historian Stu Horvath reviewed the horror role-playing adventure Escape from Innsmouth (for the horror role-playing game Call of Cthulhu by Chaosium) and noted, "John T. Snyder's line work creates evocative portraits and horrific momements of action. It is one of Chaosium's best-looking books and provides the raw inspiration for one of the better Lovecraftian videogame adaptations, Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth."[2]
