It was published as a standalone edition in May 2022. The book is a supplement to the 5th edition Monster Manual (2014) and Player's Handbook (2014). It is also a replacement book for two older supplements – Volo's Guide to Monsters (2016) and Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes (2018).
Shannon Appelcline commented that after the publication of fourth edition Call of Cthulhu, "The modern Cthulhu Now setting even got some love with the At Your Door (1990) adventure anthology — best known for its introduction of disguised Shoggoth 'Mr. Shiny,' who became a sort of Chaosium mascot for several years."

The book covers a campaign of sequential adventures that span the globe from New York, London, Cairo, and Kenya, to Shanghai, [3] and pits the investigators against a world-wide cult that is attempting to complete a ritual that will call Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos and Outer God, to destroy the world.

A shoggoth (occasionally shaggoth [1]) is a fictional monster in the Cthulhu Mythos. The beings were mentioned in passing in H. P. Lovecraft 's sonnet cycle Fungi from Yuggoth (1929–30), and later mentioned in other works, before being described in detail in his novella At the Mountains of Madness (1931).
John O'Neill reviewed Down Darker Trails for Black Gate, and stated that "CoC has been sorely lacking a weird western sourcebook, so I was very pleased to see Kevin Ross and his friends at Chaosium release Down Darker Trails, a massive full-color 256-page hardcover which lovingly brings Mythos horror to the old west.
