About the Lives of the Mayfair Witches series
Anne Rice's Lives of the Mayfair Witches is a sprawling Southern Gothic saga of a powerful New Orleans family haunted across centuries by a seductive, malevolent spirit named Lasher. It begins with "The Witching Hour," in which neurosurgeon Rowan Mayfair inherits both a fortune and a terrifying ancestral legacy.
Rice brings her lush, baroque style to themes of family, inheritance, sexuality and destiny, building a dense mythology of witches and the entity that covets them. The recent TV adaptation has drawn new readers.
Read in order from "The Witching Hour"; the Mayfair Witches connect to Rice's Vampire Chronicles in her wider universe.
