安妮·賴斯,吸血鬼之母,抑或是一個筆名,一個古老幽暗世界的麵具。賴斯以18世紀末的新奧爾良的時空背景為敘事原點,上下挪移,橫越法國大革命時期的混亂秩序、中世紀的陰沉動蕩、羅馬時代的狂歡饗宴,直逼古埃及王朝的殘酷壯麗全景,紡織齣一幅縱橫曆史,上至遠古,下至20世紀末的群魔綉帷,承載瞭超自然國度的奢靡、絕望與狂歡。

In 1976, a uniquely seductive world of vampires was unveiled in the now-classic Interview with the Vampire . . . in 1985, a wild and voluptous voice spoke to us, telling the story of The Vampire Lestat .In The Queen of the Damned , Anne Rice continues her extraordinary "Vampire Chronicles" in a feat of mesmeric storytelling, a chillingly hypnotic entertainment in which the oldest and most powerful forces of the night are unleashed on an unsuspecting world.
Three brilliantly colored narrative threads intertwine as the story unfolds:
- The rock star known as Vampire Lestat, worshipped by millions of spellbound fans, prepares for a concert in San Francisco.Among the audience--pilgrims in a blind swoon of adoration--are hundreds of vampires, creatures who see Lestat as a "greedy fiend risking the secret prosperity of all his kind just to be loved and seen by mortals," fiends themselves who hate Lestat's power and who are determined to destroy him . . .
- The sleep of certain men and women--vampires and mortals scattered around the world--is haunted by a vivid, mysterious dream: of twins with fiery red hair and piercing green eyes who suffer an unspeakable tragedy.It is a dream that slowly, tauntingly reveals its meaning to the dreamers as they make their way toward each other--some to be destroyed on the journey, some to face an even more terrifying fate at journey's end . . .
- Akasha--Queen of the Damned, mother of all vampires, rises after a 6,000 year sleep and puts into motion a heinous plan to "save" mankind from itself and make "all myths of the world real" by elevating herself and her chosen son/lover to the level of the gods: "I am the fulfillment and I shall from this moment be the cause" . . .
These narrative threads wind sinuously across a vast, richly detailed tapestry of the violent, sensual world of vampirism, taking us back 6,000 years to its beginnings.As the stories of the "first brood" of blood drinkers are revealed, we are swept across the ages, from Egypt to South America to the Himalayas to all the shrouded corners of the globe where vampires have left their mark. Vampires are created--mortals succumbing to the sensation of "being enptied, of being devoured, of being nothing." Vampires are destroyed.Dark rituals are performed--the rituals of ancient creatures prowling the modern world.And, finally, we are brought to a moment in the twentieth century when, in an astonishing climax, the fate of the living dead--and perhaps of the living, all the living--will be decided.

評分 評分提到vampire book,大多数人的第一反应肯定就是Anne Rice。如果你没听说过这个名字,那么你一定知道Interview with the Vampire;英文不熟?夜访吸血鬼你总听说过。没有?快去看Tom Cruise & Brad Pitt双帅哥联袂出演的电影! "Interview with the Vampire"是Anne Rice的第一...
