"STARTLING. . . FIENDISH. . . MEMNOCH'S TALE IS COMPELLING."
--New York Daily News
Like Interview With the Vampire, Memnoch has a half-maddened, fever-pitch
intensity. . . Narrated by Rice's most cherished character, the vampire Lestat, Memnoch tells a tale as old as Scripture's legends and as modern as today's religious strife.
--Rolling Stone
"SHOCKING. . . A BRILLIANT BOOK."
--St. Louis Post Dispatch
"Rice has penned an ambitious close to this long-running series, as well as a classy exit for a classic horror character. . Fans will no doubt devour this last visit with Lestat."
--The Washington Post Book World
"MEMNOCH THE DEVIL OFFERS PASSAGES OF POETIC BRILLIANCE."
--Playboy
"[Memnoch] is one of Rice's most intriguing and sympathetic characters to date. . . Rice ups the ante, taking Lestat where few writers have ventured: into heaven and hell itself. She carries it off in top form."
--The Seattle Times
"RICHLY DESCRIPTIVE. . . A HORRIFIC TOUR OF HELL."
--Kirkus Reviews (starred)

    Anne Rice lost me on this one. In my opinion, it had very little to do with vampires. It really focused on Lestat's quest for religious knowledge or understanding. It just did not work for me.

    First of all, this one didn't get me hooked to the story as did the first ones. Despite that I really liked the overall tone of the book. Finding salvation and truth when the Devil takes you to Heaven and Hell. I mean, it was bound to happen with Lestat. The ending made me a bit confused but that's always a good thing.

  • My favorite Anne Rice book. Kind of abandoned her not long after this one, but I still pick it up and read it randomly. Great book, interesting take on heaven and hell.
