"The dubious tome you hold in your hands offers you a different kind of Mythos experience. It’s not about remote inbred towns, or swamp altars, or lost prehuman ruins, but about a city of cinemas, electric lights, global power and the height of fashion. It’s about the horrors – the cancers – that lurk in London, in the very beating heart of human civilization. Of course, London has its decaying, inbred populations – both East End drabs and West End aristocrats. A Templar altar might well crouch, mostly forgotten, in the dreary Hackney Marshes, but altars to false gods tower over the metaphorical swamps of Fleet Street and Whitehall. And as for lost, prehuman ruins ... who’s to say what lies under London, if you dig deep enough?"
"Your characters aren’t stalwart G-men or tweedy scholars this time around, serving their country or sealing off forbidden frontiers. They’re working the main chance, and selling maps (and maybe guidebooks) to those forbidden frontiers. They are Bookhounds, looking for profit in mouldy vellum and leather bindings, balancing their own books by finding first editions for Satanists and would-be sorcerers. They may not quite know what they traffic in, or they may know rather better than their clientele. Peddlers of blasphemy and madness aren’t nice people, and the only consolation is that their customers are worse yet."
