Trade Review
Rice is a superb storyteller with a fabulously rich imagination, and such ringing authority of tone that you’ll believe vampires really exist. -- Kate Saunders * The Times *
Few contemporary American or British novelists have had as much cultural impact over the past four decades as Anne Rice * Washington Post *
Rice is a charismatic and passionate storyteller -- Alexandra Heminsley * Indepenent on Sunday *
Anne is back with a bang * Sun *
Sappy, vegetarian Edward Cullen lacks teeth compared to Rice's dastardly Lestat. Put it this way: Meyer is vampire-lite; Rice serves up no-holds barred in delicious, full-fat glory -- Susan Swarbrick * The Herald *
