Reviews
"Vintage Anne Rice-a lushly written, gothic … metaphysical tale. This time, with werewolves." - The Wall Street Journal "I want to howl at the moon over this. . . . Rice's style [is] as solid and engaging as anything she has written since her early vampire chronicle fiction." -Alan Cheuse, The Boston Globe "A fast-paced, heady romp that ranks with [Rice's] best…. Feisty and terrific fun." -Joy Tipping, Dallas Morning News "Intoxicating." - USA Today "A delectable cocktail of old-fashioned lost-race adventure, shape-shifting and suspense, brightened by enticing hints of a secret history." -Elizabeth Hand, The Washington Post "One part Beauty and the Beast love story, one part meditation on morality and immortality, and one part superman tale…. Rice deepens and gives nuance to classic werewolf lore." - The Times-Picayune (New Orleans) "An entertaining tale of good vs. evil." - St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Evolves from a fantastical romp into an engrossing thriller." - San Francisco Chronicle "Rice's classic concerns regarding good and evil and shifting views of reality play out wonderfully in what will surely please fans and newcomers alike." - Publishers Weekly "The strange history of the Nideck family will jump off the page and enter the readers' nightmares as Rice has found a new gothic saga to sink her teeth into." - Bookreporter "The queen of gothic lit, the maestro of the monstrous and the diva of the devious . . . has returned to her roots." - The Philadelphia Inquirer "The best Rice has written since … Interview with the Vampire . . . . Brilliant. . . .Wit-filled, languid and vibrant, brainy and snarling." - The Globe and Mail (Toronto) "Highly entertaining." - The Washington Times "Written with compelling modernity . . . The Wolf Gift is a strong-and welcome-return to the monster mythology that made Anne Rice famous." - Shelf Awareness, "Vintage Anne Rice--a lushly written, gothic ... metaphysical tale.

This time, with werewolves." -Alexandra Alter, The Wall Street Journal "Anne Rice has done it again. In her latest novel, The Wolf Gift , the woman who single-handedly, reinvented the vampire genre puts her formidable talent to work rewriting 'were-wolf' lore and in the end succeeds magnificently." -Nola Cancel, Examiner "[Rice] returns to the lushly evocative scenery and gothic atmosphere of her vampire novels with great success. . . her reimagining of a well-worn mythology is fresh and intriguing. Fans of Rice's The Vampire Chronicles and The Lives of the Mayfair Witches series should delight in this new saga delivered in the author's distinctive style. Part creation story, part love story, all excellent!" -Bette Lee Fox, Library Journal (starred) "I want to howl at the moon over this…I devoured these pages…[A] terrific new novel. . . . The plot [is] magnetic, the characters fascinating, and Rice's style as solid and engaging as anything she has written since her early vampire chronicle fiction." -Alan Cheuse, The Boston Globe "Rice weaves her trademark meditations on the role of supernatural creatures in society into an often thrilling, page-turning yarn" -Kristine Huntley, Booklist "[A]n energetic gambol, feisty and terrific fun. . . . [A] fast-paced, heady romp that ranks with her best. . . . Wolf Gift is irresistible." -Joy Tipping, The Dallas Morning News "[I]n Rice's hands, The Wolf Gift evolves from a fantastical romp into an engrossing thriller. . . ." -Liz Colville, San Francisco Chronicle "Anne Rice combines a vast literary gift with a shameless love of sex, beauty and pop culture. Her artistic vision is part Bela Lugosi, part Andy Warhol, part Christina the Astonishing, the medieval holy woman who could famously "smell sin."… The Wolf Gift will leave open-minded readers howling for more." -Aidan Johnson, The Globe and Mail "[E]xciting tale of a contemporary werewolf. . . . Rice's classic concerns regarding good and evil and shifting views of reality play out wonderfully in what will surely please fans and newcomers alike." - Publishers Weekly "[O]ne part 'Beauty and the Beast' love story, one part meditation on morality and immortality, and one part superman tale. . . . Told in the memorable style that won Rice's vampire series so many readers, The Wolf Gift is an intriguing new take on the classic werewolf legend…Rice deepens and gives nuance to classic werewolf lore." -Diana Pinckley, New Orleans Times-Picayune "Rice has never shied away from tackling Big Issues… The Wolf Gift marks a return to form while still giving a nod tospiritual matters…[A] delectable cocktail of old-fashioned lost-race adventure, shape-shifting and suspense." -Elizabeth Hand, The Washington Post "Anne Rice is back" -Tirdad Derakhshani, The Philadelphia Inquirer "[W]ritten with compelling modernity… The Wolf Gift is a strong-and welcome-return to the monster mythology that made Anne Rice famous." -Rob LeFebvre, Shelf Awareness "With both thrilling acts of horror and a final act that is deeply based in the mythology of the Wolf Gift and its history --- and bordering on lycanthropic existentialism --- this novel opens readers up to a world they only thought they knew…The characters come alive, and the strange history of the Nideck family will jump off the page and enter the readers' nightmares as Rice has found a new gothic saga to sink her teeth into." -Ray Palen, Bookreporter.com

Synopsis
When Reuben Golding, a young reporter on assignment, arrives at a secluded mansion on a bluff high above the Pacific, it's at the behest of the home's enigmatic female owner. She quickly seduces him, but their idyllic night is shattered by violence when the man is inexplicably attacked--bitten--by a beast he cannot see in the rural darkness. It will set in motion a terrifying yet seductive transformation that will propel Reuben into a mysterious new world and raise profound questions. Why has he been given the wolf gift? What is its true nature--good or evil? And are there others out there like him?, NATIONAL BESTSELLER * "Vintage Anne Rice--a lushly written, gothic ... metaphysical tale.
