Players should not read any further.
Synopsis
Kimball, a misanthrope and keen reader, encountered a ghoul a year ago and was gradually drawn into their society. He has become a ghoul himself, but eventually returned to retrieve some more of his beloved books. The single Investigator is able to track him down to the graveyard, and even speak to the transformed Kimball. What they do with their discovery is left to the player.

Comments
Keeper Comments
The scenario is suitable as an introduction for a new player, with a straightforward investigation and limited Mythos content. As written, there is no need for any violence, though the player can easily take things that way if they wish (it's not a good idea). The general skill mechanics should be covered well, and there's a small amount of Sanity loss and Cthulhu Mythos gain.
It may be somewhat misleading as an introduction to the style of the game, as Mythos entities are typically more malevolent and not inclined towards harmless moonlit chats.
There is no reason the game cannot be run for multiple investigators. It could be a useful prelude scenario, giving the investigators some Mythos background and a reason to dabble in weirdness.
The scenario can easily be relocated anywhere in the world. It has no particular ties to Michigan.
