Nope I am good thank you. I posted in the thread hoping you would see it

Does it include a map or maps?

It does not, as the idea is for the GM to customize it to fit the campaign, which includes really important decisions like whether it has a stage, a back room, a parking lot, and so on. This is one of the big differences between the Locations and Encounters series.

The space for a map is used to give example sizes of various rooms and overall venue sizes. I personally find this more reusable.

For the curious, I've added a short Q&A on my author's blog about the research and writing of Harrowed Hearts Club as well as some of my influences in conceptualizing both the club itself and some of the encounters.

This was the supplement good enough that it broke me. It made me finally register to get an account to praise it/discuss it.

It's just great. The plots are creative, the side-characters are fresh and interesting without being overly-quirky, and the resources in general for nightclubs are excellent. I couldn't be more pleased. I'm more pleased with it than I've been with many full-priced RPG books I've bought.

One of the things I appreciate most is how easily the scenarios can be bound together into a campaign. A neat little campaign with fairly bite-sized sessions, where the club's mythology feeds back upon itself. All the links are there.

I'm planning to play it with my group. We've been doing a Doctor Who-themed horror run, lately, and this supplement's mix of time travel, magic, and straight-historical all tie nicely together with that. I think my players will be pleasantly surprised.

More books like this, please. More Jon Black supplements, please. Heck, give him his own spin-off/side project/thing. I'd love to see what he can do when he's turned loose with more than 20 pages.

If ever a supplement begged for an "official" playlist its GURPS Encounters: The Harrowed Hearts Club. Below, I've linked to a blog post providing the author's playlist for each of the supplement's four encounters as well as providing a bit more insight into the supplement.

I'd love to hear thoughts and feedback about my choices for the playlists...as well as about the plethora of songs I no doubt overlooked when putting these lists together.

Another song that comes to mind for the 40s: "Butcher Pete" (Roy Brown, 1949).

And my favorite recent song that reminds me of undead: "Haunt You" (The Pack A.D., 2011). (Heh, and I just remembered "Positronic".)

Oh, I haven't listened to Butcher Pete in a while, you're right that is good for Jewels, Jezebels, and Jake Leg. And clearly I need to pay more attention to the Pack A.D.

Someone also directed me to the Misfits' cover of The Monster Mash which was so good I had to edit the Nobody Gets Out Alive playlist to mention it along with the original. I mean, Bobby Pickett, we love you and all, but you're no Glenn Danzig!
