Anne Rice Collection
Anne Rice Collection Laurie Hrydziuszko Bibliography List All of the works mentioned below are the creation of the imagination of Anne Rice. 1. Cry to Heaven. New York: Ballantine, 1982 This is the story of the life of a young Italian man named Tonio Treshi and the trials and glory he experiences after his forced entry into the world of the infamous eighteenth- century castrati. 2. The Feast of All Saints. New York: Ballantine, 1979 Like Cry to Heaven, this is a period piece also focused on a young man, but this boy is a "quadroon" (mixed French and black blood) named Marcel Ste. Marie living in nineteenth- century New Orleans. The story tells of Marcel, his family and friends, and how they lived and loved. 3. Interview with the Vampire: Book I of The Vampire Chronicles. New York: Ballantine, 1976 This book has been very influential in the career of Anne Rice. It was the first novel she ever published, and the story was released as a major motion picture in 1994. It is the only Vampire Chronicle told from the view point of Louis (whom the public knows as Brad Pitt). The story revolves around his transformation and his search for humanity in his now inhuman self. 4. Lasher: Lives of the Mayfair Witches. New York: Ballantine, 1993 This is the second book in the tale of a family of "witches" based in New Orleans. This installment focuses on Rowan Mayfair, and her struggle to release herself and her family from the demonic spirit, Lasher, that possesses them. -
