The Library of the Damned

ADD TO WISHLIST >

A Collection of Forbidden Knowledge

For as long as they have existed, the Children of Caine have kept records of their history and unnatural condition. The books they have created provide a detailed record of all aspects of Cainite history and society, from the time of the First City, to the bloody conflicts of recent nights. These are dangerous texts; not only must they be hidden from mortal eyes, but they also contain forbidden lore, material which many elders would prefer to be forgotten. The dangerous, radical, and even heretical, notions found within these books are feared by many, and with good reason. There are few who would dare to delve within the library of the damned.

Cursed Literature

The Library of the Damned is a sourcebook for Vampire: the Dark Ages, describing the key works of literature created by Cainites. This supplement contains material on various books authored by the damned, from the eerie mythology of the Book of Nod, to the dark heresies of the Euagetaematikon. Accompanying the descriptions of such works are rules and systems to allow players and Storytellers to incorporate this material into their chronicles.

Great product. Top notch. But I do have to point out a few irregularities. For one, the book is supposed to be 85 pages, it's double the amount. Also, there are incomplete texts in various parts such as Ennoia's Tale, The Karavalanisha Varna, The Black Torah, The Euagetaematikon, The Empowerment of the Justiciars, On Hunger and its Satisfaction, The Letters of Acindynus, And The Book of the Sun. And there are a few typos here and there. But other than that, It is a yery good read. One I highly recommend...

Thank you for your comments. There were some issues with the pdf file, which have now been fixed. Acrobat DC had a very interesting relationship with the base file on this one...

In regards to the excerpts of the texts, the material presented within the book is intended to represent how the pages might be seen within the original (fictional) document, and sentences will occasionally run off the end of a page. If there is sufficient interest, I can add further material to the excerpts including, perhaps, a full annotated copy of the Gospel of Philip.

I would second that. It would be very interesting to see how you annotated the Gospel of Philip.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
