Vittorio the Vampire

By: Anne Rice

Narrated by: Jonathan Marosz

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • With Pandora, Anne Rice began a magnificent new series of vampire novels. Now, in the second of her New Tales of the Vampires, she tells the mesmerizing story of Vittorio, a vampire in the Italian Age of Gold.

Educated in the Florence of Cosimo de' Medici, trained in knighthood at his father's mountaintop castle, Vittorio inhabits a world of courtly splendor and country pleasures--a world suddenly threatened when his entire family is confronted by an unholy power.

In the midst of this upheaval, Vittorio is seduced by the vampire Ursula, the most beautiful of his supernatural enemies. As he sets out in pursuit of vengeance, entering the nightmarish Court of the Ruby Grail, increasingly more enchanted (and confused) by his love for the mysterious Ursula, he finds himself facing demonic adversaries, war and political intrigue.

Against a backdrop of the wonders--both sacred and profane--and the beauty and ferocity of Renaissance Italy, Anne Rice creates a passionate and tragic legend of doomed young love and lost innocence.©1999 by Anne O'Brien Rice; (P)1999 by Random House, Inc.

Bad Audio Quality

A good story. The narrator has a nice voice, but the audio quality is garbage- like it was taped from down the hall or something. It also skips at random.

Editing an sound quality were not acceptable

The entire middle third of the story the reader sound like he’s under water. Muffled voice. Poor quality. Similar quality to radio shows from the 1920s. It’s a shorter book, 7hr recording, but a good story. Maybe just read the book and save your credits for something else.

Vittorio the "human" is more like it.

This story spends more time (90%) in the human life of Vittorio. Not the vampire novel I thought I was purchasing. Other than that dissapointment... it was good. Kept my attention the entire time. Worth the purchase.

Bad copy job

This was obviously originally a book on tape... did a bad job making the file lots of repeats

recording skips

story was ok, but the audio skipped many times throughout the book. Was quite annoying
