Publisher's summary

Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for 300 years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history. He turned to the first page and read:

I, Strahd, Lord of Barovia, well aware certain events of my reign have been desperately misunderstood by those who are better at garbling history than recording it, hereby set down an exact record of those events, that the truth may at last be known....

He caught his breath. By all the good gods, a personal journal?

Excellent story

I enjoyed the book, but the narrator's voice took me a little while to get used to. He sounded a little robotic.

Fantastic

I listen to books while I work in the mornings and this book had me looking forward to going to work so I could keep going! I cannot recommend it enough especially for aspiring DMs preparing for the "Curse of Strahd" D&D campaign.

Best thing since Bram Stoker.

I can't give spoilers, but I honestly expected Strahd to say "I have crossed oceans of time to be with you."

Eh….

If I wasn’t so deeply invested in the D&D module, I may have enjoyed this more.
Many hours spend readying lore, learning about the lands, etc.
this give a good idea of Strahd’s extreme behavior but I wasn’t blown away.
Still worth a read for those who love the module, though.

Great preclude to Curse of Strahd

Good vampire story if you’re into archetypes like that. Even though it shares some similarities to Dracula, I would say it is very different on how Strahd became the way he became.

For players about to play or playing CoS, this book won’t metagame any thing in this module. It should make it more enjoyable as you have a better understanding of Bavoria and Strahd.
