Praise for The Queen of the Damned "Mesmerizing . . . a wonderful web of dark-side mythology."--San Francisco Chronicle "With The Queen of the Damned, Anne Rice has created universes within universes, traveling back in time as far as ancient, pre-pyramidic Egypt and journeying from the frozen mountain peaks of Nepal to the crowded, sweating streets of southern Florida."--Los Angeles Times "Imaginative . . . intelligently written . . . This is popular fiction of the highest order."--USA Today "A tour de force."--The Boston GlobeFront Jacket
A welcome chance to catch up with old friends...Fascinating...When we emerge from its folds, there's good news on the last page: 'The chronicle of the vampires will continue.' Yum.
