Det här är den andra boken jag beställde efter att ha vunnit Nobelprisprojektets tävling. Tack för det! Jag blev så glad över att vinna.
Det ska bli intressant att läsa denna, då Anne Rice har utnämnt Memnoch the Devil som sin favorit i Vampyrkrönikan. Själva handlingen låter spännande. Beskrivningen här nedan är tagen från Goodreads:
In Anne Rice’s extraordinary novel, the Vampire Lestat–outsides, canny monster, hero-wanderer–is at last offered the chance to be redeemed.
He is brought into direct confrontation with both God and the Devil, and into the land of Death.
We are in New York. The city is blanketed in snow. Through the whiteness Lestat is searching for Dora, the beautiful and charismatic daughter of a drug lord, the woman who arouses Lestat’s tenderness as no mortal ever has.
While torn between his vampire passions and his overwhelming love for Dora, Lestat is confronted by the most dangerous of adversaries he has yet known.
He is snatched from the world itself by the mysterious Memnoch, who claims to be the Devil. He is invited to be a witness at the Creation. He is taken like the ancient prophets into the heavenly realm and is ushered into Purgatory.
He must decide if he can believe in the Devil or in God. And finally, he must decide which, if either, he will serve.
