The Miskatonic University Department of Literature Shirt looks like academic apparel at first glance, but that skull-and-tentacle crest tells a darker story. Made from 100% cotton with a sturdy classic fit, this Cthulhu Skull Seal Graphic Tee for Arkham Massachusetts Literary Horror Fan bridges the gap between scholarly pride and cosmic dread. Wear it to class, the library, or your next RPG night.
About Miskatonic University Department of Literature Shirt
The idea Miskatonic University Department of Literature Shirt started with a simple question: what if a university actually taught forbidden texts? We imagined Miskatonic’s literature department as a real place, tweed jackets, coffee stains, and the occasional summoning. Instead of putting a screaming monster on the chest, we went subtle. The distressed “Eldritch Green” seal features a skull fused with Cthulhu-like tentacles and fins. Text circles the whole thing: “MISKATONIC UNIVERSITY” up top, “DEPARTMENT OF LITERATURE” below, plus “EST. 1690” and “ARKHAM / MASSACHUSETTS” at the base. Consequently, only those in the know will recognize the reference. For everyone else, it just looks like a vintage college tee. That’s the beauty of it. You get to wear your love for Lovecraft without yelling it.

You’ll forget you’re wearing it, until someone asks if Miskatonic has a good football team.

Care Instructions
Turn the shirt inside out before washing. Machine wash cold on gentle cycle with similar colors. Use non-chlorine bleach only when absolutely necessary. Skip fabric softeners, they damage DTG prints. Tumble dry low or hang dry for longer life. Iron inside-out on cool if needed, but never iron directly over the graphic. Do not dry clean.
