Summary[]
From the Onyx Path catalog:
- The question you have to ask yourself is, if you're a walking dead man, why are you so blinkered? Do you think you're the only impossible thing out there?
- - Frances Black
- This book includes:
- Secrets of the other vampires of the World of Darkness, from the vile Formosae, who feed on beauty, through to the bizarre and appalling Cymothoa Sanguinaria, nature's greatest horror.
- Beings that exist as direct consequences of the Kindred's parasitic existence, including the Draugr, vampires without Humanity and Dampyrs, children who should not be.
- The return of the Strix, vengeful spirits that plagued the Kindred back in the days of ancient Rome.
- New options, allowing players to take on the role of strange, exotic vampiric creatures.

| “ | Before her, before him, before her, before him… I was never these people. Not really. I don’t know their minds. I only know their skin, their organs, their skeletons. Each just a cheap suit, a snug costume. A happy masquerade. | ” |

| “ | ...when a mommy and a daddy who are deeply in love decide they want a little baby, mommy murders a homeless man and drinks up all his yummy blood until her belly is big and full of it, and then daddy lays on top of her, and puts his wing-wang in her hoo-haa and moves up and down, and then his seed and her egg meet, and mommy uses some of the blood to make the little baby growing in her big and healthy, but because she’s eating for two now, mommy gets very very hungry, and has to murder lots and lots of homeless men so in nine months a perfect little bouncing baby is born, with daddy’s nose, and mommy’s sickening occult affliction. | ” |
