The queen of horror is back ... and she's on mesmerising form.
Anne Rice is the author of more than thirty internationally bestselling books including the Mayfair Witches sequence, Songs of the Seraphim and the Wolf Gift Chronicles. The phenomenon that became the Vampire Chronicles began with Interview with the Vampire in 1976, later made into a film starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, and culminated with Blood Canticle in 2003. Prince Lestat, published in 2014, and Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis, published in 2016, were the first new Vampire Chronicle novels for over a decade. Anne Rice lives in California.
"What makes this novel special is the changes the author rings on
the werewolf theme... This allows Rice to spin both a convincing
thriller and an inquisition on the nature of good and evil – a
recurring theme in her work – as Reuben avoids his pursuers and
considers the creature he has become. Superb."
*Guardian*
"The Wolf Gift is vintage Anne Rice – a lushly written, gothic...
metaphysical tale. This time, with werewolves."
*The Wall Street Journal*
"I want to howl at the moon over this...I devoured these
pages...[A] terrific new novel. . . . The plot [is] magnetic, the
characters fascinating, and Rice's style as solid and engaging as
anything she has written since her early vampire chronicle
fiction."
*The Boston Globe*
"Rice weaves her trademark meditations on the role of supernatural
creatures in society into an often thrilling, page-turning
yarn."
*Booklist*
"[Rice] returns to the lushly evocative scenery and gothic
atmosphere of her vampire novels with great success. . . her
reimagining of a well-worn mythology is fresh and intriguing. Fans
of Rice's 'The Vampire Chronicles' and 'The Lives of the Mayfair
Witches' series should delight in this new saga delivered in the
author's distinctive style. Part creation story, part love story,
all excellent!"
