ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Anne Rice's "The Witching Hour" delves into the captivating and enigmatic history of the Mayfair family of New Orleans. The narrative primarily follows Rowan Mayfair, a brilliant neurosurgeon who unexpectedly discovers she is the heir to a vast legacy and a dynasty shrouded in mystery. As Rowan grapples with her newfound heritage, she becomes increasingly aware of a powerful and elusive spirit that has been linked to her family for generations, known as Lasher. The story explores themes of heredity, supernatural abilities, and the complex interplay between the living and the spectral across centuries. The watchful presence of an organization called the Talamasca, dedicated to studying paranormal phenomena, further complicates Rowan's journey into her family's shadowy past.
