5 out of 5 stars The best reference to the dark mother on vampire.   March 1, 1999
 11 out of 12 found this review helpful

It is a great book in a Book of Nod fashion, deatiling all the references to the dark mother Lilith, I really loved this book, beatifully illustrated, and magnificently writed. It is one of the best sources for every vampire in the misterious world of darkness in Vampire: The mascarade.


2 out of 5 stars Not very good...   July 6, 2001
 8 out of 11 found this review helpful

This book is beautifully illustrated with a frequent subject being lilith's naked form which is a theme of the book really. Sleeping with Adam, Eve, Caine, Lucifer, God (yes, God), Animals, and probably a dozen or so more folk that I've forgotten. The Book is best for a Sabbat book because it's appeal to such base sexual things instead of any divine mystery or questioning doesn't provide much. The narrator is also far less interesting than Aristole DeLaurent and Beckett.


5 out of 5 stars Best book in the WoD theme   February 6, 2001
 5 out of 6 found this review helpful

I loved this book! The words--the visualizations they produce--it's pure poetry, something not usually seen in a source book for a roleplaying world. I could put myself in Lilith's shoes, and understand her pain, her joy. I mined this book for information, and got a teasure. If you deal with Lilith in your game, this is the perfect book for you.


5 out of 5 stars The little details add so much!   September 14, 2002

As I force my players to dive deeper into the mysterious world of Kindred and fight against destruction, prophecy can be a wonderful thing. I use this book, along with "The Book of Nod" and other WoD books to develop unique interpretations to the story we have just finished our fourth summer of playing. Told from the point of view of someone investigating the cults concerning Lilith, we get 3 "books" about the Dark Mother. These three agree on many points but it is the contradictions that I find most useful in the game. A creepy feeling surrounds the book and you may get chills just from reading it.


3 out of 5 stars Mediocre Setting Information   July 15, 2003
 4 out of 5 found this review helpful

While it is true that this is a better reference for Sabbat characters than Camarilla, this is not because of wanton sexuality or anything like that. It is a book about discovering yourself through all outlets: pain, thought, suffering, sexuality, sensuality, etc. This is more of a Sabbat outlook than a Camarilla one, so it is more appropriate for those characters.

That set aside, it is not really all that helpful a resource. Some of the book was obviously researched, I can tell that from my own studies. However, much of it was merely Lilith bemoaning her fate. Dark Mother indeed. Where is this Mother's self-sufficiency, her self-confidence, her satisfaction at what she is done? Nowhere. It is a book about her whining and using her powers to seduce those she hates until she meets her love, Lucifer.

While that is all very interesting, the art is neither detailed nor differentiated. The only really interesting pictures are toward the end, where Lilith is dressed in the outfits of Pharoh, and where she holds Lucifer's sword and prepares to slaughter her enemies. The text is not as poetic as you would be likely to think, if you had read The Book of Nod or The Erciyes Fragments, both of which are wonderful and highly recommended. If you have need of more of that, go ahead and pick this up. If you have players who are Lilins, go ahead and have them pick this up. If you are interested in vampire flavor, this is not really for you. It shuns vampires mainly, and it is not really useful for them.
