The inclusion of cultists and fiends from graves provides a tactile sense of the horror involved. The structure allows for an in-depth look at the societal impact of these events, showing how different individuals react to the same existential threat. This method creates a cohesive yet varied reading experience that highlights the pervasive nature of the danger facing Arkham.
