Reception

The reviewer from the online second volume of Pyramid stated that "this Wraith book really captures the ironic, self-referential humor that marks the better White Wolf books. As Richard Dansky's last turn as Wraith line editor, it's an unpretentious romp about the most interesting of the Wraiths, full of great ideas with the occasional bit of self-mocking grandeur to add levity."[4]
