"Last night, right, I dreamed I was drowning in a river of blood. It was slow-moving, like, and full of bones.
I just knew it wasn't fresh, neither - it'd been pouring out of a deep gash in the land for millennia.
And then I woke up and it was back to the real river of blood, back to this place full of ghosts older'n most countries and spirits what've eaten century after century full of war.
Whole country's a boneyard, mate. An' here we are pickin' our way among the bones."
- Emmy Longham, Bone Shadow

They hunted the moors and forests in the days before Caesar came, and they prowl the towns and cities even now. For millennia, supernatural creatures have walked these islands. From the Scottish Highlands to the London streets, danger waits for the unwary.

* A look at the United Kingdom of the World of Darkness, from the bloody secrets of its long-ago history to the most current threats lurking in London's shadows

Introduction

Facts and Fictions

This book lies.

This isn't a history book. This isn't a travel guide. This isn't a book that'll give you the basics about Mexico, its culture or its people.

Today, it just feels like a ridiculous notion to take up a bunch of space in a book like this with facts and data and reports that you can get at the library or off of the Internet. If you want a complete list of Mexican presidents or the specific century that the Olmec civilization is thought to have begun its decline, that stuff is easy (and often free) to find out. You came here because you want to know what happened when the vampires of the New World first encountered the Kindred of the Old World, or why werewolves patrol the U.S.-Mexico border or just what the hell is up with that goat-sucking monster. That we can do for you.

This is a book about telling stories in a frightening modern fantasy world created in the image of Mexico. You may find historical minutiae, precise travel times and hotel reviews to be vital in your stories, but you won't find many such things in here. This is a book about fiction, not fact.

Fair Warning

This book does not exactly paint a flattering picture of Mexico. Before you get angry about anything, remember this: it's foolish to base your opinion of any place solely on the horror stories you read about it.

Shadows of Mexico is about what's dark, what's mysterious and what's scary in the southern stretches of North America. This is Mexico in a World of Darkness. The following pages are preoccupied with criminals, liars, miscreants and monsters not because they are necessarily representative of the land but because they are good sources for conflict, fear and adrenaline. Remember that the daytime streets of Mexico City are thick with a silent majority — a population that doesn't get so much stage time in tales of damnation, murder, fury and the occult.

Likewise, this book isn't your complete guide to Mexican history or culture. This book hardly scratches the surface of that. This book wasn't written to tell you about the real Oaxaca or the genuine Cancún. This book was written to help you tell stories in a frighteningly fantastic version of a real country. That is, this book is about evocative fiction, about telling lies worth hearing — lies that feel true, whether they're realistic or not.

When you're reading this book, think of the Mexico we're writing about as an imaginary place based on a real one. Remind yourself that this is a grim and wondrous fantasy. Let your imagination loose. Let it bolt across the border from reality, let it careen through Mexico City like a getaway car, let it kick up dust like a Mustang sprinting away from the sun. Once you've given yourself that freedom, then you can walk your imagination back closer to the bricks and bars of what's authentic to get the sense of realism you want. Remember, the World of Darkness isn't about what you know. It's about what you fear.

Finalement et après moults réflexions, WW a décidé de changer la couverture de son supplément pour celle-ci :
