The Wolf Gift

See all formats and editions

Anne Rice's legendary 'Vampire Chronicles' immersed us in the mythology, lives and loves of a motley crew of undead; they defined a genre. And now she has another age-old story in her sights: the terrifying werewolf ...

The werewolf is the classic monster of horror fiction - dark, gothic, with supernatural depth and power - but here it is reimagined and reinvented with all Anne Rice's supernatural sympathy and inventiveness, as a romantic being, a potentially tragic figure bestowed with the gift of transformation and transcendence.

Only Anne Rice could make us wonder if it's possible to love a man-beast but, in The Wolf Gift's hero Reuben, we have a brand new hero for a brand new audience. The vampire is dead ... 2012 is the year of the werewolf.
