"STARTLING. . . FIENDISH. . . MEMNOCH'S TALE IS COMPELLING."

--New York Daily News

Like Interview With the Vampire, Memnoch has a half-maddened, fever-pitch

intensity. . . Narrated by Rice's most cherished character, the vampire Lestat, Memnoch tells a tale as old as Scripture's legends and as modern as today's religious strife.

--Rolling Stone

"SHOCKING. . . A BRILLIANT BOOK."

--St. Louis Post Dispatch

"Rice has penned an ambitious close to this long-running series, as well as a classy exit for a classic horror character. . Fans will no doubt devour this last visit with Lestat."

--The Washington Post Book World

"MEMNOCH THE DEVIL OFFERS PASSAGES OF POETIC BRILLIANCE."

--Playboy

"[Memnoch] is one of Rice's most intriguing and sympathetic characters to date. . . Rice ups the ante, taking Lestat where few writers have ventured: into heaven and hell itself. She carries it off in top form."

--The Seattle Times

"RICHLY DESCRIPTIVE. . . A HORRIFIC TOUR OF HELL."
