Background Information[]
The 1999 Jan-Jun Catalog has a different text entry for the book:
The Midnight Dance Continues...
They stalk in the shadows, moving gracefully and unseen among their prey. They are the blood-drinking fiends of whispered legends - Kindred, Cainites, the Damned. Above all, they are vampires. Their eternal struggle, waged since the nights of Jericho and Babylon, plays itself out among the skyscrapers and nightclubs of the world. But the grand Masquerade is imperiled, and the night of Gehenna draws ever closer.
Until the End of All Things
The new edition of Vampire: The Masquerade redefines the mature, horror roleplaying game for the new millennium. The lavishly illustrated art book that accompanied the Vampire limited edition is now available on its own. You have one more chance to capture the creatures of the night in all their glory, not to mention learn the inspirations behind the very look and imagery of Vampire. An introduction by none other than comics' Neil Gaiman completes your Toreador appreciation of the find arts.
