From the author of the extraordinary Vampire Chronicles comes a huge, hypnotic novel of witchcraft and the occult through four centuries. Demonstrating, once again, her gift for spellbinding storytelling and the creation of legend, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of witches--a family given to poetry and to incest, to murder and to philosophy; a family that, over the ages, is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being. On the veranda of a great New Orleans house, now faded, a mute and fragile woman sits rocking - and The Witching Hour begins.

Good book submitted by Ilyjtwya on July 19, 2012, 2:47am This is perhaps the strongest of the first three Mayfair Witches books. It does get pretty explicit, like many of her books it's not good for youth. at times, but I enjoy the varying times in the story lines.

Not a favorite submitted by jdgerich on July 8, 2023, 11:42pm Very long with only a few sections that really kept me interested as most of the characters were not particularly likable.
