Clanbook: Tzimisce

Clanbook: Tzimisce is the sourcebook on the Tzimisce clan for Vampire: The Masquerade Second Edition.

Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:


 * Called "fiends" even by other vampires, the Tzimisce are the masterminds behind the dread Sabbat; their atrocities have given rise to the mortals' legends of vampires stalking human prey in the night. In rejecting their humanity, the Tzimisce hope to attain something far more wondrous. Should they achieve their aim, Kindred and kine alike will have reason to fear.
