The Witching Hour
by Anne Rice
Well shit... that was a hell of a ride. Long, slow, drawn out, then bang. Chaos.
This book has everything I want in a book. Witchcraft, mystery, history, ancestry/ancestors, mythology, old diaries, secrets to be discovered, paranormal stuff and things, romance... some creepy af sexual scenes... actually that part was borderline in the language used but it was still just part of the whole experience which was, on the whole, just a hell of a ride.
I’ve seen Interview and Queen of the Damned but I’ve never read Anne Rice, having had, when I was an apathetic but romantic gothic teenager (literally, black everything, docs, the works... now I’m kind of a retired goth, still black everything but a little more socially respectable) a boyfriend who was poetic, very into Lovecraft and music like Bauhaus and Burzum, and strongly anti-Anne Rice because she was, as he said “trite and cliche drivel.”
I have an obsession with witchcraft and vampires and the like and I can’t explain why except to say that I suppose because I have always longed to be something more than I am, more than human - a stupid, romantic, and naive wish, as it all comes from various depictions in literature and film (much of which is extremely cheesy) because really, what else is there, unless you’re Aaron Lightner and you know things...
...that was off topic. ANYWAY. What was the point?
YES.
10/10 would read again.
A+ highly recommend.
Etc etc etc.
I’m going to start the second book now.
