A must for every World of Darkness fan and RPG player, since it tells the story of how Vampires were created through Kain's eyes. The first part is beautifully written so anyone, player or not, will surely enjoy it. Second and third part will be mostly appreciated by RPG players. Overall it is not something one will read as literature. For all players note that this is NOT exactly the word of Kain himself, but something that is SUPPOSED to be Kain's word. Also some things are not very clear and it's in the hand of the Storyteller to clear them up. This means that no matter what the book says the ST decides what will be used in the game.
A review? No, more like a absolute recommendation when it comes to understanding the realm of the Kindred. So many people trust in what they are seeing in movies and tv, but it couldn't be farther than the truth! READ THIS BOOK! Do you want to know where the Kindred came from? The Christian Holy Books only say so much, there is such a beautifully tragic story you have not discovered yet! I highly recommend this book to anyone who.....well, ANYONE!... Who was Cain? Really? What happened after Abel? Where did he go? And why is he the ultimate beginning of all Kindred? Why is Lilith so important?.....Such a wonderful read!

This was a very interesting book on vampires. What was nice is instead of a story following one vampire, it gave you their origins and rules to live by. What's nice is how some points of the book corresponded with part of the bible. Although some pages were difficult to read due to dark images and dark text. I bought it because a friend would read me passages 10 years ago and i never got the entire story. It was definitely worth buying.
After 2 canceled my bids I was surprised to get this one, they claim lack of inventory but I'm guessing lack of high price

I really enjoyed this book. I do not play the game that it is a supplement to, but the book itself is very well written. It has the feel of what it is supposed to be, a document of a vampires research into the origin and history of vampires. The illustrations, footnotes, and narratives are positively creepy. This will be the 3rd copy I have purchased, if that tells you anything. I highly recommend this book to any vampire fans out there.
