Description

“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

In a feat of virtuoso storytelling, Anne Rice unleashes Akasha, the queen of the damned, who has risen from a six-thousand-year sleep to let loose the powers of the night. Akasha has a marvelously devious plan to “save” mankind and destroy the vampire Lestat—in this extraordinarily sensual novel of the complex, erotic, electrifying world of the undead.

“Mesmerizing . . . a wonderful web of dark-side mythology.”—San Francisco Chronicle
  
“Imaginative . . . intelligently written . . . This is popular fiction of the highest order.”—USA Today
 
“A tour de force.”—The Boston Globe

    By L.D. Carter
    Sophisticated and enlightening. A clever mixture of characters that “come to life “. Storyline with profound description. A pleasant marriage of intelligent dialogue with necessary macabre.

  • Anne Rice at her best

  • Collapses in the middle

    Unlike some other reviewers, I liked the Talamasca storyline. I also liked Jesse as a character. However, this thing just collapses under the ponderous weight of the "Story of the Twins." The Twins' story is just so bloated and boring, that it takes the life out of what initially promised to be another great adventure.

  • Great read.

    This novel gives more detail about the history of many of the vampires.
