A thrillogy of emotional, macabre & blood-sucking tales that will leave you breathless! This volume contains the critically acclaimed first three graphic novels based on the White Wolf role-playing game: ''Toreador,'' ''Nosferatu,'' and ''Ventrue.'' A tale of a tempted TV show host, a beauty queen whose masquerade of a mortal life is viewed from the mirror of a forbidden world, and the twisted ''who's who'' tale of two female friends and a suspicious new boyfriend are but mere tasty morsels of what awaits you between these pages. Things are never quite what they seem like in Vampire the Masquerade...

no words come to mind
