Media Reviews

A modern Paradise Lost * Washington Post *
Lavish description, rapid narrative, gorgeous costume, and larger-than-life heroes, all against the biggest concept of them all: immortality * Guardian *
Startling, fiendish, compelling * New York Daily News *
Rice's most passionate and inventive work since Interview With the Vampire, Memnoch has a half-maddened, fever-pitch intensity and tells a tale as old as Scripture's legends and as modern as today's religious strife -- Mikal Gilmore * Rolling Stone *
