looking forward

I bought a book last April; I knew I couldn’t read it anymore until the first semester ends (at that time, I was still finishing a documentary/commentary on the existence of aliens by Zecharia Sitchin). But I still bought it…so that I have something to look forward to.

I have read through all of Anne Rice’s vampires (and absolutely fell in love with them) and decided to start one of her older books on witches (published in 1990), specifically the Mayfair Witches. Amazon books describes it:

In this engrossing and hypnotic tale of witchcraft and the occult spanning four centuries, we meet a great dynasty of witches–a family given to poetry and incest, to murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is haunted by a powerful, dangerous and seductive being.

Anne Rice recounts:

The first in the Mayfair Witches series, The Witching Hour introduces the fictional Mayfair family of New Orleans, generations of male and female witches. This tight-knit and deeply connected family, where a death of one strengthens the others with his/her knowledge. One Mayfair witch per generation is also designated to receive the powers of “the man,” known as Lasher. Lasher gives the witches gifts, excites them, and protects them. Unsure as to exactly what this spirit is, the Mayfair clan knows him variously as a protector, a god-like figure, a sexual being, and the image of death. Lasher’s current witch is Deirdre, who lies catatonic from psycological shock treatments.

I can’t wait to get my hands on this book. I need to be bewitched again.
