In the Shadows is an anthology of adventures published by Chaosium in 1995 for the 5th edition of the Lovecraftian horror role-playing game Call of Cthulhu.

Many adventures have been published for Call of Cthulhu, including 1995's In the Shadows, a 56-page softcover book written by Gary Sumpter, with interior illustrations by Dave Carson, Earl Geier, and Drashi Khendup, and cartography and cover art by Eric Vogt.

"[1] In the November 1996 edition of Dragon (#235), Rick Swan thought that after some very mediocre releases by Chaosium in the early 1990s, In the Shadows was a welcome return to a better quality, "employing the classic archetypes, adversaries, and plot twists that have made Cthulhu so durable."

Swan's only complaints were that the art style had not changed much in the 15 years since the game was first published; and that the player handouts were scattered throughout the book rather being gathered together in one section, forcing the gamemaster to photocopy mamy more pages.

Despite these concerns, Swan concluded by giving the book an above-average rating of 5 out of 6, saying, "Cthulhu-ites can keep their tentacles a-tingling with the essential In the Shadows.
