--New York Daily News

Like Interview With the Vampire, Memnoch has a half-maddened, fever-pitch

intensity. . . Narrated by Rice's most cherished character, the vampire Lestat, Memnoch tells a tale as old as Scripture's legends and as modern as today's religious strife.

--Rolling Stone

"MEMNOCH THE DEVIL OFFERS PASSAGES OF POETIC BRILLIANCE."
