Just opened up the Reliquary sourcebook for nWoD, and happened to hit the Little Black Book. Two reactions:
(1) Okay, this is *neat*. It's cold and vicious and uncaring and spiteful, and generally quite suited for a horror game. It's got great potential for half a dozen stories all by its lonesome. (Probably not more than two at most for any particular group, but they are there.) I'd want to be really careful about who (if anyone) I ran a story for involving this thing, but the idea... the idea, speaking from a strictly horror-story-telling point of view, is lovely.
(2) I understand that the book only affects women, forcing them to engage in sex with the book's owner. I'm not sure how to get from that to the explicit indication that only men use the book, although there is no requirement as to the sex of the owner. Weirdly, the writeup *does* acknowledge the existence of homosexuality in men...

Oh well. "Droves of Gamers Abandon NWoD, Return to OWoD to Peruse Hot Lesbian Assamite/Lasombra Action" isn't really catchy as a headline, anyway.
