Sinossi
Rowan è l'ultima delle streghe, la più potente, colei che è riuscita a evocare il più terribile dei demoni, Lasher, e a rivestire il suo spirito evanescente di carne e ossa. Lasher è venuto al mondo la notte di Natale: è nato già adulto e ora vuole continuare a essere l'amante della bella Rowan, vuole fecondarla, perché dal suo ventre risorga la nuova stirpe dei Taltos, esseri di puro Male che, come lui, hanno un corredo cromosomico diverso da quello degli uomini. E sulle tracce dei Taltos, Lasher parte alla ricerca delle sue origini, del suo passato, alla scoperta delle ragioni della sua esistenza che affondano in tempi perduti e bui.

Recensioni
A saga of witchcraft. Mesmerizing, sensual, and deliciously gothic, Anne Rice created her queendom with her lush prose. After the enthralling introduction of the witching hour, the book Lasher is another immersive read. The story of Julian, the birth of Lasher, the name of Taltos… After the brewing sto Leggi tutto
Boy was this a letdown after reading The Witching Hour. It was really long and drawn out. I felt like the entire book was just two very long rehashings of the first story with a couple of blanks filled in. It was almost like re-reading the first book and became quite tedious at times. I guess it was Leggi tutto
This book kind of surprised me. As I wrote in my review for The Witching Hour, I really loved THAT book as a young adult (13-15 I'd guess), and had for many years after considered it one of my favorite novels ever written. However, re-reading it at age 31 revealed a number of fatal flaws that I coul Leggi tutto
This book is basically Anne saying “Oh you thought the last book was crazy? Hold my beer…”
Here she knows how to capture and retain interest. You think: "Well, okay, I'm going to finish the next volume of epic, and I'll say goodbye to this story." You're annoyed with yourself for having taken up this "Lasher" at all - it's clear that everything was moving by leaps and bounds towards becom Leggi tutto
I truly enjoyed reading this! Anne Rice's writing is simply exquisite. The amount of detail in this book is tremendous. The characters are stunningly written. Some parts of this book are really slow moving but I didn't really mind it. I felt like it was all necessary in order to get a true sense of
Although I did not find Lasher quite as enjoyable as The Witching Hour, it was damn close and since TWH has become my second all-time favorite book, Lasher, in my humble opinion, was fantastic. Granted, the content isn’t going to be for everyone. By the 1% mark, we are introduced to a new character, Leggi tutto
The follow-up to The Witching Hour , 1993’s Lasher , continues the masterful world-building of that precious volume while fully standing on its own: it is a cold, horrifying treat filled to the brim with Anne Rice’s signature gothic, sensual overtones. The daemon that is Lasher — He who has bestowed w Leggi tutto
