The Face of Death

The Face of Death is an artbook dedicated to Wraith: The Oblivion. It served as a preview for the game which was released two months later on August 15.

Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
 * Face death. Walk beside the Reaper. Glimpse life after life. Flickering beyond the Shroud.
 * Welcome to the theater of one man's mortality. The tableau of his lonely journey -- you, who have felt Night's cold razor. You, whom Fear has touched inside.
 * Dare you stare into Oblivion's mirror? Dare you stare into the eyes of the Restless?
 * Dare you see the Face of Death?

The "plot" of The Face of Death follows a wraith named Kirk on his journey through the Shadowlands, from reaping until he decides to take up the work of the Ferrymen. Along the way, it introduces many of the concepts and terms found in Wraith.

"The irony is that death, even in death, can't be escaped. And neither can the fear.  So deal with it."
