~ Standard Hardcover The Vampire Chronicles: Merrick Sweeping from New Orleans to the Guatemalan jungle, Merrick is the hypnotic, exotic, and splendid tale of Louis de Pointe du lac who is tortured by the memory of the child vampire Claudia and sets out to gain help using black witchcraft to call up her ghost, however dangerous it may be . . . Anne Rice's richly told novel, Merrick, weaves together an irresistible story of two worlds: that of the 'Mayfair Witches' and the 'Vampire Chronicles', where magical powers and otherworldly fascinations are locked together in a dance of seduction, death, and rebirth. "Rice has become justifiably famous for the creation of characters that are so vividly drawn and have such compelling stories to tell that they have become legends of almost mythic proportion in their own right." -- Amazon
