 An excellent piece of WoD literature set in San Francisco. September 22, 1998
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
"The Beast Within," the first anthology released by White Wolf Publishing, is an excellent collection of short stories focusing around a three day period in the San Francisco Kindred population. From small power games to the riskiest and most daring of power plays, the city's Kindred cavort and consort in a seemingly unending dance of status and political power. From the opening tale, Blood Letters, to the final page of "Prisons," Vannevar Thomas and all the rest cut a bloody swath across each other's unlives. I highly recommend it to all fans of vampire fiction and the World of Darkness.

The first story is a mass of cliches you'd expect from a teenage girl--15-year-old poet runs away from home, makes a smash at a poetry slam, and meets the vampire who turns out to be her soulmate. Eeegh. The writing doesn't get much better, either.
If you really like the "game" you may like this. June 16, 2001

Only ten stories, I was hoping it would have at least one per clan. If you like the role playing game Vampire, especially those tricky Tremeres, you may really like this book. I'm a storyteller for a group who does tabletop Vampire so I found the stories interesting and inspiring both. My favorites were "The voice of the hummingbird," "descent" and "expendable". The last story isn't very clear about who the main character is or why they are doing what they are doing. I'd recommend it to fans of the game but not really to those interested in vampire literature in general.

A great collection of stories set in White Wolf's world of darkness. Each tale is set to focus on a different clan of vampire, and is a great introduction to anyone interested in playing Vampire the Masquerade role-playing game.
