SOON TO BE A MAJOR TV SHOW, FROM THE NETWORK BEHIND THE WALKING
DEAD '[W]hen I found Rice's work I absolutely loved how she took
that genre and (...) made [it] feel so contemporary and relevant'
Sarah Pinborough, bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes '[Rice
wrote] in the great tradition of the gothic' Ramsey Campbell,
bestselling author of The Hungry Moon "In my dreams, I saw a city
fall into the sea. I heard the cries of thousands. I saw flames
that outshone the lamps of heaven. And all the world was shaken..."
Lestat de Lioncourt is no longer alone. A strange, otherworldly
spirit has resurfaced, taking possession of his body and soul.
All-seeing, all-knowing, its voice whispers in his ear, telling the
hypnotic tale of Atlantis, the great sea power of ancient times...
Prince Lestat is seduced by the power of this ancient spirit, but
is he right to trust it? Why has Lestat, leader of the vampires,
been chosen as its bodily host? And what of Atlantis, the
mysterious heaven on earth? Why must the vampires reckon so many
millennia later with the terrifying force of this ageless,
all-powerful Atalantaya spirit? It falls to Lestat to discover the
truth. 'There's little doubt about the paperback that will be
selling like hotcakes this month. Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles
saga continues.' - SFX 'Linguistically masterful, structurally
solid and weaved like a gossamer web of nightwalker excellence.
Anne Rice further solidifies her undisputed reputation for penning
novels of dark poetry, where Lestat lives and breathes in all his
benevolence. Pompous, preening, princely and beyond earthly
reproach. For the uninitiated and experienced traveller alike this
continuation of The Vampire Chronicles makes a mockery of any
shared cinematic universe you can name.' - Flickering Myth 'Anne
Rice's prose has always been lyrical and poetic, the words ebbing
and flowing from page to page, calmly and rhythmically. In this
latest edition, she proposes some ethical and spiritual quandaries
from both sides of the sets of characters.' - On: Magazine
