This guide, purportedly written by Treval Vorgard, "Vampire Enthusiast and Occasional Hunter," covers such topics as food, clothing, and community. The text includes field guide–style notes and sidebars, providing additional information and "expert" opinions. Some of the illustrations, by a cadre of artists, have an amateurish, too-cartoony look that doesn't match the playing-it-straight text.
