![]() ![]() ![]() Ramses too has had hundreds of years of past plots and relationships to mull over in his noble head, whilst playing God with the ability to keep others young forever, in the same manner as his hedonistic and pompous self. (Can you believe that we first encountered Lestat in 1976?). THE MUMMY was gleefully passed around many an office worker back in the day, with all Anne Rice fans anticipating another lust worthy brat in the vein (pardon the pun) of Lestat from the Vampire Chronicles. It's been a long time since we saw his blue eyes on lurid paperback covers way back in 1989. ![]() The glorious wallowing can be a bit of an acquired taste and all that navel gazing can come at the expense of plot.Īs lovingly gothic and melodramatic the characters may still be, it was an absolute treat to experience Rice's creation King Ramses once again. If like this reviewer you haven't read an Anne Rice novel for some years, what you might also be anticipating is some lovely floral prose that waxes lyrical about everything from flowers to landscapes. ![]()
