This book is, at heart, a collection of material that should have been found in other Wraith supplements, marketed under the dubious title of "Doomslayers", which lends more mystique to the work than it really deserves. Most players will find this book to be totally worthless unless they own other sourcebooks, namely "Guildbook: Masquers", "Buried Secrets", "Dark Reflections: Spectres", and "The Dark Kingdom of Jade" among others. It does not stand alone, and even if you own all of the prerequisite titles, it is questionable whether such a limited topic as "Spectre Hunting" deserves the 160 pages that it is given. Also: far too much original fiction and other filler. Buy it for the art, or because you are a die-hard Wraith fan, but otherwise stay away.

I'm only writing this 'cause that geek below me gave it two stars. Doomslayers gives you all the info one needs to reach the depths labyrinth...and make it out alive. The fiction is great and the meta-plot stuff is pretty kewl 2. I highly recommend this book to anybody who seriously needs to explore the unknown!

I found this book to be filled with excellent material. While there is not much new material, the atmosphere and the writing is filled with hooks that one can put stories together about.
