Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches - a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women. Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale.

In a sweeping saga of music and vengeance, the acclaimed author of The Vampire Chronicles draws listeners into 18th-century Italy, bringing to life the decadence beneath the shimmering surface of Venice, the wild frivolity of Naples, and the magnetic terror of its shadow, Vesuvius. This is the story of the castrati, the exquisite and otherworldly sopranos whose graceful bodies and glorious voices win the adulation of royal courts and grand opera houses throughout Europe. These men are revered as idols - and, at the same time, scorned for all they are not.

Publisher's summary
In a feat of virtuoso storytelling, Anne Rice unleashes Akasha, the queen of the damned, who has risen from a six-thousand-year sleep to let loose the powers of the night. Akasha has a marvelously devious plan to “save” mankind and destroy the vampire Lestat—in this extraordinarily sensual novel of the complex, erotic, electrifying world of the undead.
Critic reviews
“Mesmerizing... a wonderful web of dark-side mythology.” (San Francisco Chronicle)
“With The Queen of the Damned, Anne Rice has created universes within universes, traveling back in time as far as ancient, pre-pyramidic Egypt and journeying from the frozen mountain peaks of Nepal to the crowded, sweating streets of southern Florida.” (Los Angeles Times)
“Imaginative... intelligently written... This is popular fiction of the highest order.” (USA Today)

Long ago when the Earth was flat, beautiful, indifferent Gods lived in the airy Upperearth realm above; curious, passionate demons lived in the exotic Underearth realm below; and mortals were relegated to exist in the middle. Azhrarn, Lord of the Demons and the Darkness, was the one who ruled the night, and many mortal lives were changed because of his cruel whimsy. And yet, Azhrarn held inside his demon heart a profound mystery which would change the very fabric of the Flat Earth forever.

Inextricably linked with the fatwa called against its author in the wake of the novel’s publication, The Satanic Verses is, beyond that, a rich showcase for Salman Rushdie’s comic sensibilities, cultural observations, and unparalleled mastery of language. The book begins with two Indians plummeting from the sky after the explosion of their airliner, and proceeds through a series of metamorphoses, dreams and revelations.

In a sweeping saga of music and vengeance, the acclaimed author of The Vampire Chronicles draws listeners into 18th-century Italy, bringing to life the decadence beneath the shimmering surface of Venice, the wild frivolity of Naples, and the magnetic terror of its shadow, Vesuvius. This is the story of the castrati, the exquisite and otherworldly sopranos whose graceful bodies and glorious voices win the adulation of royal courts and grand opera houses throughout Europe. These men are revered as idols - and, at the same time, scorned for all they are not.

In the days before the Civil War, there lived in New Orleans the gens de couleur libre - copper-skinned half-castes, liberated by their "owners," but confined by their color to a life of political non-existence and social subordination. Here is a compelling and richly textured tale of a people forever caught in the shadows between black and white.

Anne Rice's Violin tells the story of two charismatic figures bound to each other by a passionate commitment to music as a means of rapture, seduction, and liberation. At the novel's center: a uniquely fascinating woman, Triana, and the demonic fiddler Stefan, a tormented ghost who begins to prey upon her, using his magic violin to draw her into a state of madness. But Triana sets out to resist Stefan, and the struggle thrusts them both into a terrifying supernatural realm.

Imajica is an epic beyond compare: vast in conception, obsessively detailed in execution, and apocalyptic in its resolution. At its heart lies the sensualist and master art forger Gentle, whose life unravels when he encounters Judith Odell, whose power to influence the destinies of men is vaster than she knows, and Pie "oh" pah, an alien assassin who comes from a hidden dimension.

Supernatural creatures
I have always loved supernatural creatures. My first ever movie I watched was Queen of the Damned, starring Aaliyah, Rest In Peace. When I found out the book was based off of the books, I just had to read it. I hated reading, but reading about vampires, my favorite supernatural creatures, written by Anne Rice, I felt great.

Reading, MAGIC. Listening, HYPNOTIZED!
The way that Simon reads gets me completely lost inside the story. I read these books in high school 15 years ago. I'm fully hooked on the unabridged Audio versions. I LOVE that Simon is the same one reading these books too, somehow that makes them feel more real, being read the sam by the same person, in the same voices of the characters. I'm addicted and can't wait to finish so I can start them again!

Spoiled for me
I thoroughly enjoyed the first 2 books in this series. What the heck happened to book 3?? I was completely turned off by every chapter beginning with quotes from Stan Rice’s works. Let him print and publish his own stories not gain an audience by barging in on his wife’s story. It broke the continuity and was completely distracting and annoying. Is this the only way he can garner attention to his inferior literature. Shame on Audible for not creating what would have been a completely enjoyable experience. I felt cheated. If I wanted to read Stan Rice I would have purchased Stan Rice. I purchased “Queen of the Damned” by Ann Rice. Nowhere did I see this book was co-authored to include a preface to each and every chapter by her husband. His writing completely ruined the continuity of the novel. I view this as a cheap trick to promote his work, which I don’t even like.

Vampires never die. Neither will this classic!
Long before certain shiny vampires, there was Lestat. Picking right off from the last cliffhanger, our hero is now telling what happened next. Told by various immortals, the story is breathtaking and beautifully told.
As you reach the final page you will smile knowing that not only is our hero immortal, the stories will continue onward. Highly recommend it!

Amazing
so much better than the movie. Simons voice, however, puts me to sleep sometimes. other than that, he is still amazing.

great read
loved the story. sometimes it was a bit confusing at times because she added in poems and body's of work that are her husband's before certain chapters. only because it's an audio version you think it's part of the book until you hear them state it's not. so your like wait what is going on. lol. But overall loved it.

Love the 3rd installment!
Anne Rice knocks it out of the park again and doesn't disappoint. took a bit for me to like the narratof, but I didn't start at the first book because I'd read them before. by the end of this book, I'm on board and need him to narrate the remaining books in the series. can't wait to start book 4!

Excerpts
The excerpts at the beginning of each chapter made things confusing. Otherwise it was a great book.
