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.
