Awesome little book.

This little book was made to be a resource for the Vampire Masquerade game but it can definitely be read and enjoyed by fans who have no idea what Vampire Masquerade even is.This short book, which can be read in like 30-60 minutes, shows the origins of the vampires, and their sects, and shows their 'fall from grace' from heaven and why they were shunned by all. And while the book might be extremely short in length, the build quality easily makes up for that. There are wonderful drawings, indexes, and footnotes litered throughout the book. And the silver lined pages, attached cloth bookmark, and smooth hardcover scream quality like no other.This book is a must read for any vampire or horror fan who wants to learn a bit more on vampire history and their origin.

A definite must read!

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!

Those with only a passing intrest in vampires will love it!

Dramatic. Frightening. Awesome. Incredible. These are just a few of the words that run through my head as write this review. The Book of Nod is truely a thing of dark beauty. The entire feel of the book is one of terrible majesty and horrific pride. If you enjoy vampire stories in any way, shape, or form get this book. I did and read through it twice in one sitting!

Highly Recommended, if you are into The Masquarade

A great little, inexpensive book that can provide a wealth of ideas for storytellers. Power Players will already own it, and use the knowledge frequently to control the game...if they are allowed to. The book's binding alone is worth the price. The competitive advantage the content provides is priceless...(And this Ventrue got his money's worth...)

Read it, understand it, feel it, be it. Know your origin

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 BIBLEAnd it lives up the nicknameRead 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.
