Book Description

"MY NAME IS MEMNOCH,"

he said calmly, with a small pleading gesture. "Memnoch the Devil. I want you to remember it that way. . . . Lestat, I've been waiting for someone like you for centuries. I've been watching you yourself for centuries. No, I'm afraid I'm not going to leave you alone. Continue

"MY NAME IS MEMNOCH,"

he said calmly, with a small pleading gesture. "Memnoch the Devil. I want you to remember it that way. . . . Lestat, I've been waiting for someone like you for centuries. I've been watching you yourself for centuries. No, I'm afraid I'm not going to leave you alone. But I don't want you to be miserable. What can I do to calm you? Some small miracle, gift, anything, so that we can proceed."


"And how in hell will we proceed?"


"I'll tell you everything," he said with a slight shrug, his hand open, "and then you'll understand why I have to win. . . ."


In Anne Rice's extraordinary new novel, the vampire Lestat - outsider, canny monster, hero-wanderer - is snatched from the world itself by the most dangerous adversary he has ever known: Memnoch, a mysterious being who claims to be the Devil. He is invited to be a witness at the Creation. He is taken like the ancient prophets into the heavenly realm and is ushered into Purgatory. Lestat must decide if he can believe in the Devil or in God. And finally, he must decide which, if either, he will serve. . . .


RICHLY DESCRIPTIVE. . . A HORRIFIC TOUR OF HELL."

  • Although it did not enjoy this book as much as others in the series it was still a good book again mainly featuring Lestat.

  • Fifth in the the series - The Vampire Chronicles

    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.
