Vampires

Merrick

by Anne Rice · The Vampire Chronicles series

The vampire David Talbot seeks out Merrick Mayfair, a powerful witch from Rice's Mayfair lineage, to help him contact the spirit of the dead vampire Claudia. Rice bridges her two major series, blending vampire immortality with voodoo magic and New Orleans mysticism. A haunting meditation on guilt, memory, and the prices we pay to commune with the dead.
