Lasher

SOON TO BE A MAJOR TV SHOW, FROM THE NETWORK BEHIND THE WALKING DEAD

'[W]hen I found Rice's work I absolutely loved how she took that genre and (...) made [it] feel so contemporary and relevant' Sarah Pinborough, bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes

'[Rice wrote] in the great tradition of the gothic' Ramsey Campbell, bestselling author of The Hungry Moon

At the centre of Anne Rice's brilliant novel, the beautiful Rowan Mayfair, queen of the coven, must flee from the darkly brutal, yet irresistible demon known as Lasher. With a dreamlike power, this wickedly seductive entity draws us through twilight paths, telling a chillingly hypnotic story of spiritual aspirations and passion...

Reviews

Behind all the velvet drapes and gossamer winding sheets, this is an old-fashioned family saga - Rice's descriptive writing is so opulent it almost begs to be read by candlelight

—— Washington Post Book World

The sequel and conclusion to Rice's The Witching Hour shows Rice at her best ... The novel lights up with rocket blast

—— Kirkus Reviews

Erotic ... Eerie ... Horrifying ... A tight tale of the occult in present-day New Orleans

—— Denver Post

An exuberant novel... the lost dreams of a battered, once beautiful city have a tangible presence

—— Financial Times

Fowles is an artist of great imaginative power

—— Sunday Times

These extraordinary diaries... should help bring about his richly deserved resuscitation

—— Spectator
