IN HER NEW NOVEL, Anne Rice fuses her two
uniquelt seductive strains of narrative - her
vampire legend and her lore of the Mayfair
witches- to give us a world of classic Deep South
luxury and ancestral secrets.
Welcome to Blackwood Farm: soaring white
columns, spacious drawing rooms, sun-drenched
gardens, and a dark strip of the dense Sugar Devil
Swamp. This is the world of Quinn Blackwood, a
brilliant young man haunted since birth by a mys-
terious doppelgänger, a spirit known as Goblin, a
spirit from a dreamworld that Quinn can't escape
and that prevents him from belonging anywhere.
When Quinn is made a vampire, losing all that is
rightfully his and gaining an unwanted immortal-
ity, his doppelgänger becomes even more vampiric
and terrifying than Quinn himself.
As the novel moves backward and forward in
time, from Quinn's boyhood on Blackwood Farm to
present-day New Orleans, from ancient Pompeii
to nineteenth-century Naples, Quinn seeks out the
legendary Vampire Lestat in the hope of freeing
himself from the specter that draws him inexorably
back to Sugar Devil Swamp and the explosive
secrets it holds.
Like her much-loved novel The Witching Hour,
Blackwood Farm is a family saga--capturing both the
dramas and the subtleties of family as it tells its story
of youth and promise, of loss and the search for love,
of secrets and destiny. It is Anne Rice at her best.
