Featured in our reading guide: Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles in Order (and Where the Mayfair Witches Fit)
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - From the beloved author of the Vampire Chronicles, the second installation of her spellbinding Mayfair Chronicles - the inspiration for the hit television series!
"[Anne] Rice's descriptive writing is so opulent it almost begs to be read by candlelight." - The Washington Post Book World
In seventeenth-century Scotland, the first "witch," Suzanne of the Mayfair, conjured up the spirit she named Lasher - a creation that spelled her own destruction and torments each of her descendants. Now, the beautiful Rowan Mayfair, queen of the coven, must flee from this darkly brutal yet irresistible demon.
The magic of the Mayfairs continues:
THE WITCHING HOUR - LASHER - TALTOS
Anne Rice is the author of thirty-seven books, including the Vampire Chronicles, the Lives of the Mayfair Witches, and the Wolf Gift book series. Rice was born in New Orleans in 1941 and grew up there and in Texas. She lived in San Francisco with her husband, the poet and painter, Stan Rice until 1988, when they returned to New Orleans to live with their son, Christopher. In 2006, Rice moved to Rancho Mirage, California. She died in 2021.
Seductive magic... spellbinding... Rice stages her scenes in a wide variety of times and locales, tapping deeply into the richest veins of mythology and history.
San Francisco Chronicle
Steamy... fast-paced and hugely engrossing... Rice's title character, a seductive, evil, highly sexual and ultimately tragic creature, is fascinating.
