Storm From A Teacup
Royce Wilson (Pay-what-you-want, suggested price $3.66, 25 page PDF)

A new tea has become the "in thing" amongst the jazz set of Pineview's youth, and while some of its imbibers report a fun but strange hallucinatory effect, others are seeing much more sinister - and even madness inducing - visions. Where did this tea come from? Are its drinkers really seeing monsters? The Investigators are being tasked with finding out...

This scenario encompasses 'old money' establishment, indifferent law enforcement, jazz-enjoying youth, bootleggers, sinister cultists, dark magick and a glimpse into the horrors of the Mythos.

An Eye For An Eye
Francis Xavier Norton ($4.99, 45 page PDF)

Your head is pounding, your pockets are empty, and your memories are hazy. All that lies before you is a cold and industrial warehouse that manages to feel foreign and familiar at the same time.

Little do you know, you are about to enter the cat and mouse game of your very lives...

This adventure is in 1929, located in a warehouse transported into a dream-like world, controlled by The King in Yellow.
