The Witching Hour by Anne Rice
4.0

It’s many years since I last read this. It’s not my favourite of Rice’s novels but I do enjoy it. Rice famously did not like to be edited but I think this book could have been stronger if it were shorter. The massive history of the Mayfairs is the weakest link. It’s the kind of thing I expect many writers would create for themselves as background work but I’m not sure it needs to be included in its entirety.
