The Wolves of Midwinter by Anne Rice

The Wolves of Midwinter by Anne Rice

The Wolf Gift story continues.

In Anne Rice's astonishing and captivating best-selling novel, the first in her odd and legendary conception of the world of wolfen abilities (I devoured these pages As solid and absorbing as anything she has written since her early Vampire Chronicles fiction--Alan Cheuse, The Boston Globe; A delightful concoction of old-fashioned lost-race adventure, shape-shifting, and suspense--Elizabeth Hand, The Washington Post),

Now, in her latest novel, Anne Rice brings us back to the rugged coastline of Northern California, to the stately mansion at Nideck Point, and further explores the supernatural schooling of her changed Man Wolf, which is as lush and romantic in texture and atmosphere as it is sleek and steely in storytelling.

It is Yuletide for Reuben Golding, now infused with the Wolf Gift and under the loving care of the Morphenkinder, and the tale opens on a chilly, gloomy landscapeIt is the beginning of DecemberOak fires are glowing in the majestic flickering hearths of Nideck PointIt is Yuletide

The Yuletide season, sacred to much of the human race, is also sacred to the Man Wolves, and Reuben quickly learns that they, too, will celebrate the ancient Midwinter holiday deep within the verdant splendor of Nideck woodland, immersed in their own profound traditions.

As Reuben becomes engrossed in--and pulled to--this phantom presence's desires and yearnings, and as the swirl of preparations for the Nideck town Christmas celebration of music and spectacle reaches a fever pitch, shocking secrets are revealed.

Anne Rice was born in New Orleans in 1941. She is the author of many bestselling novels, including the widely successful Vampire Chronicles. Her first novel, Interview with the Vampire, was made into a film in 1994 starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Her other books include the Mayfair Witches series, the novels The Mummy or Ramses the Damned, Violin, Angel Time, the Sleeping Beauty trilogy, and most recently, The Wolf Gift. Anne lives and works in Southern California.
