 INTERESTING TO A NON-PLAYER September 28, 2000

I BOUGHT THIS BOOK SEVERAL YEARS AGO WHILE BROWSING IN A BOOKSTORE. HOW CAN YOU RESIST NOT PICKING UP THIS SLIM VOLUME WITH THAT SILVER OVER BLACK COVER DESIGN? AS I THUMBED THROUGH IT, I REALIZED THAT WHILE IT WAS FOR MASQUERADE, IT COULD STAND ALONE AS A BOOK ON IT'S OWN. I ENJOYED READING THE CHRONICLES OF CAINE, SHADOWS, AND SECRETS. THE NOTES THAT FOLLOWED EACH OF THESE SECTIONS WERE ALSO OF INTEREST. NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATIONS. THE PICTURES ALONE ARE WORTH THE PURCHASE PRICE. ANY ONE OF THEM LOOK LIKE THEY COULD HAVE COME FROM THE PEN OF CLIVE BARKER (CHECK OUT CLIVE BARKER ILLUSTRATOR I & II). ALL TOGETHER, AN INTERESTING BOOK TO ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION. ...
Black bound book....easier to obfuscate? January 12, 2000

When I first read this book, it was in one sitting, and several times I have retuned to it to brush up on my lore. I play live-action Vampire the Masquerade and thoroughly enjoyed this book not only as a great book ITSELF...but as a great supplement. In my opinion...IT and the "sequel book" The Erciyes Fragments create a FULL volume of the Book of Nod. GET BOTH! Whereas the Book of Nod has what I consider to be THE outline of the laws of the clans as dictated by Malkav, Toreador and the others, The Book of Erciyes (which some fellow gamers have affectionatly been calling the COMPLETE version of the Book of Nod) contains more history about Caine's curses HE put on the clans, his exile in the land of Nod as well as a rather interesting bit with Lilith. Why get both? Well I don't feel the story is COMPLETE without both and they're a combination of georgeous art and some of the most creative gothic writing I have seen in a LONG time.
Read it, understand it, feel it, be it. Know your origin August 31, 1998

This is a must for every "Vampire The Masquerade" lover. You'll get more insight reading the first 3 chapters than you have got so far...IT IS CALLED THE VAMPIRES BIBLE And it lives up the nickname Read it and be afraid of Lillith's curs on man. Caine was exhiled from paradise to the land of Nod, and that is all the Holy Bible says about Caine's stay in Nod. This book goes in detail where our bible stops and TAKES US INTO THE IMAGINATIV WORLD WE LOVE TO EXPERIENCE.
A definite must read! April 5, 2000

This is the best and most accurate up-to-date book about vampire lore. If you've every thought about reading a book about the demons that walk the night this has to be your first pick. It lists all the clans in full detail with the last words of the 2nd generation clan elders to their childer and a very in depth story about the first vampire Caine. Although some of the writing may be hard to read (like the Malkavian clan text) this is still a great book. But the only way to complete it is to read The Erciyes Fragments which will complete the Book of Nod. ENJOY!
Wow- good reading! October 27, 2000

Now this is interesting- the artwork, dazzling, the stories, amazing. White Wolf has a habit for sating the needs of the insatiable- they give us, in this black tome, an incredable myriad of info, myth, intrigue. Fascinating and entertaining, this one is a must have- plus, as a bonus, it looks stunning on the bookself. It is mainly concerned with covering the ancestory of the vampire all the way back to Caine, rewriting bibical passages to vampiric effect. If you like books that are very rare in form, content and quality, get this one- it's a tome any student and lover of Darkness couldn't unlive without.
