Description of book

In this terrifying novel from the phenomenally successful Anne Rice, the vampire Lestat makes a Faustian pact with a fallen angel who calls himself Memnoch.

Lestat soon discovers that Memnoch is in fact the Devil himself and that he has come to New Orleans with a proposition. With his satanic guide Lestat tours the boundaries of space and time as Memnoch offers an alternative and personalised account of the Bible, exploring the events which shaped our world.

Their journey ends with an apocalyptic denouement in hell, from which Lestat returns frail and broken. The experience has shattered his perceptions of the known Universe, but can you ever trust the Devil?
