Prince Lestat

Release Date: 2 July

Author: Anne Rice Publisher: Arrow Anne Rice’s most popular vamp comes out of retirement for the eleventh Vampire Chronicles novel, in which disembodied presence “the Voice” commands old vampires to burn their younger brethren. We said: “As Rice switches between viewpoints, she also appears to be rebooting the franchise. This involves many scenes of vampires talking to each other, which becomes tiresome.”
