A "closer" Lovecraft parallel, one where the Elder Things haven't managed to devour anyone yet, might be a bit better place to go to. Mind you, I suspect they're still not popular destinations for the I-Cops, and I suspect that discovering that a parallel is a Lovecraft one is good for an immediate "Z" rating from Infinity.

Taft-7 made me remember the adventure "Horror World", from the old HERO supplement
Champions in 3-D. That world featured various horrors running amok after it's heroes failed to stop evil cultists from completing a summoning ritual. The adventure toyed with the idea that the players might want to 'stem the tide', but the situation there was pretty grim, as I recall. That book is no longer in my collection, unfortunately, though I remember being impressed with most of the content.
