Sobre este artículo
New York. Alfred A. Knopf. 1993. Black paper boards with spine wrapped in black cloth and gilt lettering to spine. First Edition (stated), first printing with minor shelf wear to boards and slight push to bottom of the spine. Small dent in lower right dedication page. Pages bright without foxing. Unclipped ($25.00) jacket, protected with removable mylar cover, shows little evidence of shelf wear in an edition prone to show considerable wear. Inscribed on flyleaf by author in black marker with "For Tom, Happy Birthday". Ann Rice (1941-2021) was best known for The Vampire Chronicles, the series of books that included the best seller, Interview with the Vampire (1994). Alone with The Witching Hour and Taltos, Lasher forms a triad of novels called the Lives of the Mayfair Witches. Rowan Mayfair, queen of the coven must flee from Lasher, the demon that Rowan finds irresistible. The last sentence begs the question of what happened in the preceeding 577 pages: "I'll put her in the earth myself". Pages numbered on alternating pages, 578 in total. 6.5x9.5 in.
Sinopsis
“From the day her first Vampire Chronicle was published, critics and readers - readers by the hundreds of thousands - have been mesmerized by the writings of Anne Rice. And with the publication of The Witching Hour, she created for us yet another world and legend, and both the chorus of praise (see back of jacket) and the multitudes of her readers once more increased. Now, in her new novel, Anne Rice brings us again - even more magically - into the midst of the dynasty of witches she introduced in The Witching Hour. At the center: the brilliant and beautiful Rowan Mayfair, queen of the coven, and Lasher, the darkly compelling demon whom she finds irresistible and from whose evil spell and vision she must now flee. She takes with her their terrifying and exquisite child, one of "a brood of children born knowing, able to stand and talk on the first day". Rowan's attempt to escape Lasher and his pursuit of her and their child are at the heart of this extraordinary saga. It is a novel that moves around the globe, backward and forward through time, and between the human and demonic worlds. Its many voices - of women, of men, of demons and angels, present and past - haunt and enchant us. With a dreamlike power, the novel draws us through twilight paths, telling a chillingly hypnotic story of occult and spiritual aspirations and passion.” - from publisher
