Loading... Blackwood Farm: The Vampire Chronicles (original 2002; edition 2001)by Anne Rice
Work detailsBlackwood Farm by Anne Rice (2002)
None. Refreshingly, a new story set almost entirely in the recent past, a new (well, slightly related) family with paranormal secrets to explore, and a new lovable vampire hero. Tarquin Blackwood seeks out Lestat to tell his story and ask for help in banishing his lifelong companion, the spirit Goblin. Tarquin's narrative meanders with Rice's usual rapt attention to the details of architecture, clothing, and decor, which stretches the book to more than six hundred pages. Truthfully, my hand hurt from holding the book, but that's because I really couldn't put it down. I was fascinated, and really pleased, particularly since I just read Blood and Gold and Pandora which were basically the same story for the third and fourth time, from a slightly different perspective with slightly more detail. I am excited to finish out this series by reading Blood Canticle next. (  ) EmScape | May 29, 2012 |  When I started reading this book, I was afraid it would be terrible. It turned out to be one of my favorites (along with Merrick) in the series. Again, we have Mayfairs, new characters, oh and... some special someone comes back into the series. Aerow | Aug 15, 2011 | Anne Rice is one of the best at these stories. (  ) DocWalt10 | Jun 22, 2010 | Hilarious. relah | Sep 5, 2009 | This is my favorite book by Anne Rice. She incorporates the vampire world with the witch world, but not in an overbearing way. This melding was merely a side note of the story. This book stands on its own. Any reader could pick this up and understand the story. The main character and his story is fabulous! I was astounded by Anne Rice's abilities to still surprise me with her creativity, description, and plot twist. I felt it plausible that Lestat would listen to the story of the young vampire. After living for so long I'm sure one gets bored and would welcome any such entertainment. This is definitely a must read for any Anne Rice fans out there! I liked that the vampire didn't sever his relationship with his family. He didn't let them know he had changed, and continued to love and care for them. The story of the little island on his property was riveting and I couldn't put the book down. I also enjoyed the uniqueness of some of the vampires introduced. Overall a lovely read!
