"The touch of cold fangs. The pallor of undead skin. The human shape that casts no shadow and receives no reflection. The nocturnal wanderer, the nighttime feeder, like the owl, the bat, and the snake ... Vampires have always been with us, in our nightmares. From the cannibal, the werewolf, and the ghoul, extract various features and mix in the right proportion, to yield that most evil, most terrifying of all human-like creatures, the vampire: among us, but not one of us; resembling us, mingling with us, but secretly stalking us. Everyone wants to live forever. Or so they think. Perhaps we would pause before accepting immortality if we knew the price was to feed forever on other human lives, on human blood. Perhaps some vampires are tortured by guilt or self-disgust. But whether or not the agonies of conscience add to a vampire's nightmare existence, from a human perspective vampires are distinctly unfriendly. Many of the world's best authors have written of the vampire, and in this collection, edited by award-winning editor Martin H. Greenberg, you will find the best of the best."--Jacket

"The first vampires remember their first nights, but do not speak of them. Others have heard tales, but know better than to believe them. The wise speak of The Book of Nod, but none have seen this fabled book of ancient lore. These are their tales... Their stories begin with the Chronicle of Caine and the earliest nights of the vampire. The Chronicle of Shadow reveals Caine's hidden teachings. Finally, the Chronicle of Secrets unveils the deepest mysteries of the Damned, including the coming dread of Gehenna. The Book of Nod is a collection of mythic texts for use in the Vampire : T he Masquerade Roleplaying Game. Presented as an epic poem, the Book of Nod is an in - game resource, viewed as sacred by Noddist scholars and most vampire elders, especially of the Sabbat. Rather than a book of game mechanics, this book can be used as a prop and for lore, as it outlines the genesis of vampires with the mythology of Caine."--Amazon.com
