World of Darkness Compendium Vol. 1: Nightmares in our Midst
Moonstone offers up Halloween fare for any kind of bloody reading tastes This volume includes the critically acclaimed Vampire: The Masquerade-Toreador, Werewolf: The Apocalypse-Black Furies, and Vampire: The Masquerade-Theo Bell. Toreador: Fannie Fang is the darkly exotic hostess of a cheaply produced horror movie show who is approached by a strange man who seeks to seduce her into the role of a lifetime, a role in an Endless Masquerade... Black Furies: They say you can never go home again. Libra makes that her first mistake. She finds that her sister is in an abusive relationship, and takes matters into her own hands. This is her second mistake. Her pack hunts down the problem until they get the abuser, ignorant to the danger their prey poses. This is Libra's third and most costly mistake... Theo Bell: Theo has always followed orders, from his days as a slave, to his nights as a vampire "policeman." Now there's a "threat" that has to be neutralized as all costs, and Theo is just the guy to get the job done.

Here we get a simple primer to the World of Darkness circa the 2nd Edition of Vampire the Masquerade and Werewolf: Apocalypse.
The first story talks of Vampire Clans and their history from the beginning of time until the end of days. It focuses on Clan: Toreador; a hedonistic group of vampires that revel in excess and debauchery. The subject of the tale: a sycophantic fan bites off more than he can chew...
The second tells a tale of the Black Furies, a tribe exclusively filled with female werewolves, and their fight against the evils of man and wolf alike. We learn of the Triat; three of the greatest entities in the spiritual hierarchy: the Wyld, the Weaver, and the Wyrm. The subject of the tale: our protagonist suffers horrible defeat and fights to regain the honor she has lost.
The third involves Theo Bell of the Camarilla Faction; the "good" side of the vampire coin, who investigates supposed crimes and misdeeds of a rogue prince (the vampire leader of a local area) to see if justice needs to be meted out per the rules of the Masquerade.
Overall the three are good for the uninitiated and the novice who wish to see on the printed page what may only be in their head but for folks like me who have met Mark Rein-Hagen and played the games since the beginning, it can be a little bit of old hat.
