[edit] Summary
From the White Wolf catalog:
- Do You Want to Play With Madness?
- Hi, there. I know you're not dead yet, but we're working on it. Anyway, I was wondering if you'd thought about your career prospects once I finally get around to killing you. I was hoping you'd consider coming to work for us. No? You won't even consider it. Oh well. And, yes, I'm going to kill you anyway.
- And All Pandemonium Breaks Loose!
- Some wraiths see messing with the living as a hobby, others see it as a crime. Then there are the Haunters, to whom it's a calling. They're the ones who make the stories you read in the tabloid rags, the once who make the walls bleed and the sky rain vermin. They're the ones who like to terrorize the innocent, to hound the wicked, and generally to make life hell for anyone they can find.
- But they've got a reason for it -- and that's the most frightening thing of all.

[edit] Background Information
This was the final Guildbook to contain a single Guild. After this, two Guilds would share a single volume for the rest of the line's run.
Chapter One is accidently listed in the Table of Contents as The Guild (tliuG ehT), which is actually the name of the first section in that chapter.
Chapter Three is accidently listed in the Table of Contents as It's All About the Wyld (elihW a tuobA llA s'tI), which likewise is the name of the first section in that chapter.
