It's 5 XP, so you expect it to be good, but this verges on broken if you have a guaranteed controlled source of horror and low probability of taking more.

 

I have it in my Rex deck in late Carcosa and my fellow investigators are overtly jealous/disgusted at what amounts to a cheap + 3 to all skills.

Also, since i am running scavenger, even if its adverse effect ever triggers, I would just pick it up and replay it - and be instantly back at +3.

 

I can also see this generally crushing in a high XP Ashcan Pete deck, running Painkillers and maybe Forbidden Knowledge as reliable horror sources. That deck has Peter Sylvestre and Duke and decent basic willpower to avoid undesired personal horror. Essentially direct horror sources are the only concern and they are rare.

Its very good in a Yorrick deck as he can get it back even more easily than an investigator with Scavenging.
