Summary: Must buy for AD&D Fans!!
Comment: This book is probably one of the most descriptive, usefull books that I have ever read for AD&D. I have most books from 1st edition to 3.0, and this one is the one I use the most(next to the player's handbook of course.) If any DM is running a campaign, and wants colorful, realistic villans (or adventurers) then buy this book. Big 5 out of 5 from me.........

Summary: WOTC needs to put out more books like this
Comment: The Book of Vile Darkness is now my favorite D&D supplement. Why? It lives up to it's name. This book is one of the foulest things i've ever seen, and it seems even morso because almost every last D&D book in the past 20 years has been directed exclusively at Good-aligned campaigns. This book gives a pretty thorough insight into the black and white world of D&D's good and evil. This book has a tendency to go overboard in its attempts to shock its good aligned players, but as a fan of Pacino, i don't mind. Now, some people may be offended by this book, which, at first glimpse, seems to confirm every last rumour about D&D that's been around since its inception. There are frequent mentions of rape, intense violence, necrophilia, human sacrifice, angel's blood, magic, and of course, what book of evil would be complete without the devil himself? However, this book is really no more evil than any other D&D books, and it constantly reminds us that it is niether looking to condone these actions nor to glorify evil. The book is an excelant tool for DMs, and a pretty entertaining read to boot. It's fun, it's freaky, and it's fake. So buy it, enjoy it and use it. And don't be offended by any of it; it's all in good fun.

Summary: If you could give a book 6 stars, this one would get it
Comment: This book...what can be said that everyone other madly praising person on this site hasn't already said? Nothing! They're absolutely right! This book is outstanding. The art is dark and is all tinged with red, a beautiful dark crimson that just adds to what makes the book great. The writing works beautifully because it feels very stark in direct contrast to the other D&D books i've read, all of which are for the most part, directed at the enemies of evil. So this is the perfect tool for the ultimate evil in a D&D players universe; the Dungeon Master. This baby focused on all of the best aspects of a good D&D campaign; the quintessential enemies. The enemies in a good-aligned campaign are suddenly upgraded from irritating mosquito bites to malignant tumors that must be dealt with or else the characters will die. The villains described in this book are traditional, with notes on how to play them and use them, in all of their wonderfully cliched complexity. Therein lies the beauty; this book doesn't pretend to be anything it's not. It's a guide on how to be evil in a world that's never existed, in very black and white (and occasionally very dark or light shades of grey) tones. The book focuses on a lot of really applealing characters and ideas for any campaign. Nothing gives you the idea of a truly powerful D&D enemy than seeing the stats on Asmodeus or Demogorgon. And, my god, do you want to throw these guys at your PCs like nothing else! It's great,and only the price is a little bit much. Otherwise (this sounds really bad), this is one of WOTC's most inspirational books to date (see?), and well worth the money, provided you're a DM. Best of all, it works in any campaign setting! Buy it.
