“The Unknown Dreams of Ruby Carter” – Part Six
We conclude “The Unknown Dreams of Ruby Carter“ chapter of the Curse of Cthulhu storyline with investigation reports from Ruby Carter, an undercover police woman on a mission to infiltrate a criminal gang, known as the Tarts with Hearts, and see how far the corruption goes to the top!
