About this listen

In this terrifying novel from the phenomenally successful Anne Rice, the illustrious vampire Lestat makes a Faustian pact with devil.

Satan has come to New Orleans with an enticing proposition. Under the name Memnoch, this lord of darkness takes Lestat on a tour through the boundaries of space and time, offering an alternative and personalised account of the Bible, exploring the events which shaped our world.

Their journey comes to an apocalyptic conclusion in hell, from which Lestat returns frail and broken. The experience has shattered his perceptions of the known universe, but can you ever trust the devil?

As with all the books so far in this series I have loved listening to Simon Vance bring Anne Rice's words to life

Loved this book

Probably the best novel I’ve read in a while. Wonderful, thought provoking storyline which was so much more than I had anticipated given the themes of the vampire chronicles previous instalments. The narration was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed.

I stuck with it making sense at the end.
I want to complete all Vampire Chronicle books.

This one was hard work.

I love the characters. I love the vampire chronicles. Didn’t love this book. I read this years ago and remember struggling with it so thought I’d give the audiobook a go. I can probably only recall 3 events. The rest was needlessly detailed descriptions of angels etc. It probably didn’t need to be as long as it was!

Simon Vance did a fabulous job trying to bring it to life but I feel like you could miss this one out and still enjoy the chronicles.

Just okay.. if that.

Different from the others and took a while to get into. All said, it turned into a really good read and look forward to listening to the next in the series

Different but good

I was surprised by this one, it's a very different book in Chronicles, I found it endearing and at times to be lost in heavy religious overtones and as for the Character Memnoch the devil, you almost start to see your own life and a sence of its not fair that innocent people that awake after death in Sheal Memnoch's school and version of hell this story definitely makes an unforgettable experience and definitely a memorable volume in the Vampire Chronicles with of course it's antihero Lestat, the crowned brat prince of the Vampire Chronicles

Siman Vance is a vocal genius.

I struggled to finish reading this book a few times and resorted to audiobook. I had to finish it in one form or other for the sake of the chronicles but it's absolutely nothing like the earlier books. the performance by Simon Vance was flawless in everything other than the accents used. some odd choices but that's only a minor issue. glad Ive finally finished it.

theological nightmare

Although I liked the concept of Lestat being haunted by one of his victims, I found Anne Rice's theological reinterpretation exhaustive and, in honest, quite boring. This is a big step away from the theme of the series thus far, which I found unappealing and unnecessary.

Simon Vance's narration was pitch perfect.

Exceptional narration marred by boring story

Loved it! I had all of this series of books but never read them, gave them away instead now I wish I had kept them. I think this one is my favourite so far

Another Great Read from Anne Rice
