"A magnificent, compulsively readable thriller . . . Rice begins
where Bram Stoker and the Hollywood versions leave off and
penetrates directly to the true fascination of the myth-the
education of the vampire."--Chicago Tribune "Unrelentingly erotic .
. . sometimes beautiful, and always unforgettable."--Washington
Post "If you surrender and go with her . . . you have surrendered
to enchantment, as in a voluptuous dream."--Boston Globe
"A chilling, thought-provoking tale, beautifully frightening,
sensuous, and utterly unnerving."--Hartford Courant
