Great review, Darren!
One of my old groups ran through "The Spawn" (and several other scenarios in this book) before I joined them. It's an amusing story that illustrates something I've often observed about this game in general. (Spoiler space follows.)

The group ran into the whole family of Cthonians. The group's ex-mobster just kinda blinked... and emptied his Tommy gun into Papa Cthonian, which promptly dropped dead.
(I'm told an appropriate moment of stunned silence followed before the subsequent chase scene.

)
Anyhoo, the lesson is that once again, guns in CoC are much more effective than the rulebook suggests.
