   The Wolf Gift

   • Anne Rice

   3,6(481)Tarief

   Anne Rice's legendary 'Vampire Chronicles' immersed us in the mythology, lives and loves of a motley crew of undead; they defined a genre. And now she has another age-old story in her sights: the terrifying werewolf ... The werewolf is the classic monster of horror fiction - dark, gothic, with supernatural depth and power - but here it is reimagined and reinvented with all Anne Rice's supernatural sympathy and inventiveness, as a romantic being, a potentially tragic figure bestowed with the gift of transformation and transcendence. Only Anne Rice could make us wonder if it's possible to love a man-beast but, in The Wolf Gift's hero Reuben, we have a brand new hero for a brand new audience. The vampire is dead ... 2012 is the year of the werewolf.

   • Anne Rice

   3,6(104)Tarief

   "Si con El don del lobo los lectores quedaron fascinados por el nuevo mundo, extraño y mítico, creado por Anne Rice, con Los lobos del invierno se verán transportados una vez más a la gran mansión de la escarpada costa de California, para seguir explorando la educación sobrenatural de su protagonista. Corre el mes de diciembre y los fuegos de roble arden en los majestuosos hogares de Nideck Point. Para Reuben Golding, ahora imbuido del don del lobo, esta Navidad promete ser como ninguna otra... De las sombras de la mansión surge un fantasma atormentado, implorante, incapaz de hablar pero no de abrazar y desear con cariño desesperado... Mientras Reuben se ve atrapado por las pasiones y anhelos de esta presencia espectral, se desvelan secretos asombrosos que hablan de un inframundo extraño, de espíritus centenarios que poseen sus propias historias antiguas y fantásticas y que hostigan con sus poderes oscuros..."--P. [4] of cover.

   The Wolves of Midwinter (Wolf Gift Chronicles)

   • Anne Rice

   3,7(78)Tarief

   It is winter at Nideck Point. Oak fires burn in the stately flickering hearths, and the community organizes its annual celebration of music and pageantry. But for Reuben Golding, now infused with the Wolf Gift, this promises to be a season like no other. He's preparing to honor an ancient Midwinter festival with his fellow Morphenkinder--a secret gathering that takes place deep within the verdant recesses of the surrounding forests. However, Reuben is soon distracted by a ghost. Tormented, imploring, and unable to speak, it haunts the halls of the great mansion, drawing him toward a strange netherworld of new spirits, or ageless ones. And as the swirl of Nideck's preparations reaches a fever pitch, they reveal their own dark magical powers.
