What this book is about
The ninth Vampire Chronicles novel introduces Quinn Blackwood, a young Louisiana gentleman who has been haunted since childhood by a ghost twin called Goblin. After becoming a vampire and finding himself still tormented, Quinn seeks out Lestat for answers. Anne Rice weaves her signature Southern Gothic atmosphere — moss-draped Louisiana estates, intricate family histories, decadent sensuality — with the philosophical vampirology and explicit sensual content that characterize the Chronicles. A richly atmospheric novel that functions both as standalone gothic tale and series expansion.
