Description

The listing, "The Witching Hour" - Anne Rice has ended.

Paperback copy of "The Witching Hour" by famous author Anne Rice (The Vampire Lestat, Memnock the Devil, Queen of the Damned) Some very slight wear around the edges but in decent condition. It is a very intense Science Fiction/ Fantasy novel & I loved reading it. I'm only listing it because I don't have the room to keep my books at my house. :-) --
SYNOPSIS: From Publishers Weekly-
" 'We watch and we are always here' is the motto of the Talamasca, a saintly group with extrasensory powers which has for centuries chronicled the lives of the Mayfairs--a dynasty of witches that brought down a shower of flames in 17th-century Scotland, fled to the plantations of Haiti and on to the New World, where they settled in the haunted city of New Orleans. Rice ( The Queen of the Damned ) plumbs a rich vein of witchcraft lore, conjuring in her overheated, florid prose the decayed antebellum mansion where incest rules, dolls are made of human bone and hair, and violent storms sweep the skies each time a witch dies and the power passes on. Newly annointed is Rowan Mayfair, a brilliant California neurosurgeon kept in ignorance of her heritage by her adoptive parents. She returns to the fold after bringing back Michael Curry from the dead; he, too, has unwanted extrasensory gifts and, like Rowan and the 12 Mayfairs before her, has beheld Lasher: devil, seducer, spirit. Now Lasher wants to come through to this world forever and Rowan is the Mayfair who can open the door. This massive tome repeatedly slows, then speeds when Rice casts off the Talamasca's pretentious, scholarly tones and goes for the jugular with morbid delights, sexually charged passages and wicked, wild tragedy." -Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
