Reviews
Behind all the velvet drapes and gossamer winding sheets, this is an old-fashioned family saga - Rice's descriptive writing is so opulent it almost begs to be read by candlelight * Washington Post Book World *
The sequel and conclusion to Rice's The Witching Hour shows Rice at her best ... The novel lights up with rocket blast * Kirkus Reviews *
Erotic ... Eerie ... Horrifying ... A tight tale of the occult in present-day New Orleans * Denver Post *
