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.

Leland Gaunt opens a new shop in Castle Rock called Needful Things. Anyone who enters his store finds the object of his or her lifelong dreams and desires: a prized baseball card, a healing amulet. In addition to a token payment, Gaunt requests that each person perform a little "deed", usually a seemingly innocent prank played on someone else from town. These practical jokes cascade out of control, and soon the entire town is doing battle with itself. Only Sheriff Alan Pangborn suspects that Gaunt is behind the population's increasingly violent behavior.

The Barbarossa family’s roots are far more ancient and ethereal, but they are bound to the Gearys by a shared history of murder, insanity, and adultery. When Rachel Geary and Galilee, the seductive prince of the Barbarossa clan, fall in love, they unleash powerful enmities that could destroy both dynasties. Shorter and more conventional than some of Barker’s other work, this novel is especially rich with complex, passionate, three-dimensional characters, lush settings, and elegant language.

Ages ago, sorcerers of unmatched power sundered a world into four realms—sky, stone, fire, and water—then vanished. Over time, magicians learned to work spells only in their own realms and forgot the others. Now only the few who have survived the Labyrinth and crossed the Death Gate know of the presence of all four realms—and even they have yet to unravel the mysteries of their severed world. . . .

The debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives. Every day the same. Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.

Zachary Quinto - best known for his role as the Nimoy-approved Spock in the recent Star Trek reboot and the menacing, power-stealing serial killer, Sylar, in Heroes - brings his well-earned sci-fi credentials and simmering intensity to this audio-exclusive novella from master storyteller John Scalzi. One day, not long from now, it becomes almost impossible to murder anyone - 999 times out of a thousand, anyone who is intentionally killed comes back. How? We don't know.

Jack Torrance's new job at the Overlook Hotel is the perfect chance for a fresh start. As the off-season caretaker at the atmospheric old hotel, he'll have plenty of time to spend reconnecting with his family and working on his writing. But as the harsh winter weather sets in, the idyllic location feels ever more remote...and more sinister. And the only one to notice the strange and terrible forces gathering around the Overlook is Danny Torrance, a uniquely gifted five-year-old.

why would you compare Pittu to Spinella. I'm sorry
please listen to me. I have been working on a script for a long series or a movie since I have been twenty-four. I am now about to turn fourty-one. I have the cast play script and something to make even. Tom Cruise feel ashamed, and Mrs. rice proud. Mr. Pittu has made this possible; by not only laying it down in perfect Louisiana dialect, but also Anne's word weaving that has set the tone for my vision that wouldn't consider anyone else on this project. I look for both of your wisdom, and even have new horror shock factor that the original Goddess of vampires has written for all of us to be blessed with to bring to the screen. please goce me a chance. Anne. I will not let you down. Yes,for David, perfection you gave me extra vision for the script.
Sincerely Yours.
a hopeless writer.

David Pitu does Anne Rice proud.
Between Anne Rice s genius story telling and David Pitu's outstanding narrative skills, Blackwood Farm comes to alive.
What subject matters Ms Rice explores in this fourth installment of the Mayfair Witches and the return of Lestat.
Blackwood Farm on Audible is a must have in one's collections of Anne Rices stories.

Good story & crossover between chronicles.
Not my favorite of either of the Chronicles but it was nice seeing characters from both in one cohesive story that didn't revolve around those characters. At times it reads like a pretentious romance novel but I liked there being a new setting with a new cast of characters with their own history.

Wow David Pittu is such a talent
Couldn’t stand the other narrator on my favorite The Witching Hour. I needed more Mayfair so I tried Blackwood Farm and this is the first time I’ve been so transfixed by the narrator’s voice and ability! Excellent work! Excellent story!

No more Anne Rice
Missing her writing is an understatement. Rest beautifully. I went back through the first books and I cry the most in here. Merrick was wonderful and having her go into the light was wonderful.

David Pittu is INCREDIBLE!!!
Anne Rice’s story along with the excellent interpretation of her characters, made this one of the most enjoyable of the series. LeStat is FRENCH, a beautiful, soft voice. Tarquin has a lovely southern gentleman’s accent. His other characters have distinctive voices. And the story-this well-written, beautifully tied together with the Mayfair witches-is so fresh!!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!!!

Another fantastic tale from Anne Rice
While not my favorite book in The Vampire Chronicles, Rice created another lovable character in Quinn. And I appreciate the inclusion of the Mayfairs.
