Shadows over the Cam

Ancient languages, strange artifacts, and vanishing scholars: a cosmic-horror tale where Cambridge itself is the stage.

In 1920s Cambridge, something vast and otherworldly stirs. Buried tomes whisper of an ancient language linked to a strange artifact, and University scholars vanish as curiosity slides into madness. Inspired by H. P. Lovecraft and H. G. Wells, this improvised cosmic-horror tale blends sharp humour with creeping dread, as Town and Gown confront  horror unbounded by space and time.

Want to meet Cambridge’s largest resident? Head to the Museum of Zoology, where you’ll be greeted by an enormous fin whale skeleton. Measuring 21-metres, it’s one of the largest of its kind ever recorded, and fills the entrance hall end to end.
