NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the beloved author of the Vampire Chronicles, the first installation of her spellbinding Mayfair Chronicles—the inspiration for the hit television series!

“Extraordinary . . . Anne Rice offers more than just a story; she creates myth.”—The Washington Post Book World

Rowan Mayfair, a beautiful woman, a brilliant practitioner of neurosurgery—aware that she has special powers but unaware that she comes from an ancient line of witches—finds the drowned body of a man off the coast of California and brings him to life. He is Michael Curry, who was born in New Orleans and orphaned in childhood by fire on Christmas Eve, who pulled himself up from poverty, and who now, in his brief interval of death, has acquired a sensory power that mystifies and frightens him. As these two, fiercely drawn to each other, fall in love and—in passionate alliance—set out to solve the mystery of her past and his unwelcome gift, an intricate tale of evil unfolds.

Moving through time from today’s New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and a château in the Louis XIV’s France, and from the coffee plantations of Port au Prince, where the great Mayfair fortune is made and the legacy of their dark power is almost destroyed, to Civil War New Orleans, The Witching Hour is a luminous, deeply enchanting novel.

The magic of the Mayfairs continues:

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

ge and sprawling tale of horror."
THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches--a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women..
Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale that challenges everything we believe in.

About the Author

Anne Rice is the author of thirty-seven books, including the Vampire Chronicles, the Lives of the Mayfair Witches, and the Wolf Gift book series. Rice was born in New Orleans in 1941 and grew up there and in Texas. She lived in San Francisco with her husband, the poet and painter, Stan Rice until 1988, when they returned to New Orleans to live with their son, Christopher. In 2006, Rice moved to Rancho Mirage, California. She died in 2021.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

The doctor woke up afraid. He had been dreaming of the old house in New Orleans again. He had seen the woman in the rocker. He'd seen the man with the brown eyes.

And even now in this quiet hotel room above New York City he felt the old alarming disorientation. He'd been talking again with the brown-eyed man. Yes, help her. No, this is just a dream. I want to get out of it.

The doctor sat up in bed. No sound but the faint roar of the air conditioner. Why was he thinking about it tonight in a hotel room at the Parker Meridien? For a moment he couldn't shake the feeling of the old house. He saw the woman again—her bent head, her vacant stare. He could almost hear the hum of the insects against the screen in the old porch. And the brown-eyed man was speaking without moving his lips. A waxen dummy infused with life—

No, stop it.

He got out of bed and padded silently across the carpeted floor until he stood in front of the sheer white curtains, peering out at black sooty rooftops and dim neon signs flickering against brick walls. The early morning light showed behind the clouds above the dull concrete façade opposite. No debilitating heat here. No drowsing scent of roses, of gardenias.

Gradually his head cleared.

He thought of the Englishman at the bar in the lobby again. That's what had brought it all back—the Englishman remarking to the bartender than he'd just come from New Orleans, and that certainly was a haunted city. The Englishman, an affable man, a true Old World gentleman it seemed, in a narrow seersucker suit with a gold watch chain fixed to his vest pocket. Where did one see that kind of man these days?—a man with the sharp melodious inflection of a British stage actor, and brilliant, ageless blue eyes.

The doctor had turned to him and said: "Yes, you're right about New Orleans, you certainly are. I saw a ghost myself in New Orleans, and not very long ago—" Then he had stopped, embarrassed. He had stared at the melted bourbon before him, the sharp refraction of light in the base of the crystal glass.

Hum of flies in summer; smell of medicine. That much Thorazine? Could there be some mistake?

But the Englishman had been respectfully curious. He'd invited the doctor to join him for dinner, said he collected such tales. For a moment, the doctor had been tempted. There was a lull in the convention, and he liked this man, felt an immediate trust in him. And the lobby of the Parker Meridien was a nice cheerful place, full of light, movement, people. So far away from that gloomy New Orleans corner, from the sad old city festering with secrets in its perpetual Caribbean heat.

But the doctor could not tell his story.

"If you ever change your mind, do call me," the Englishman had said. "My name is Aaron Lightner." He'd given the doctor a card with the name of an organization inscribed on it: "You might say we collect ghost stories—true ones, that is."

                The Talamasca
                We watch
                And we are always here.

It was a curious motto.

Yes, that was what had brought it all back. The Englishman and that peculiar calling card with the European phone numbers, the Englishman who was leaving for the Coast tomorrow to see a California man who had lately drowned and been brought back to life. The doctor had read of that case in the New York papers—one of those characters who suffers clinical death and returns after having seen "the light."

They had talked about the drowned man together, he and the Englishman. "He claims now to have psychic powers, you see," said the Englishman, "and that interests us, of course. Seems he sees images when he touched things with his bare hands. We call it psychometry."

The doctor had been intrigued. He had heard of a few such patients himself, cardiac victims if he rightly recalled, who had come back, claiming to have seen the future. "Near Death Experience." One saw more and more articles about the phenomenon in the journals.

"Yes," Lightner had said, "the best research on the subject has been done by doctors—by cardiologists."

"Wasn't there a film a few years back," the doctor had asked, "about a woman who returned with the power to heal? Strangely affecting."

"You're open-minded on the subject," the Englishman had said with a delighted smile. Are you sure you won't tell me about your ghost? I'd so love to hear it. I'm not flying out till tomorrow, sometime before noon. What I wouldn't give to hear your story!"

No, not that story. Not ever.

Alone now in the shadowy hotel room, the doctor felt fear again. The clock ticked in the long dusty hallway in New Orleans. He heard the shuffle of his patient's feet as the nurse "walked" her. He smelled that smell again of a New Orleans house in the summer, heat and old wood. The man was talking to him—

The doctor had never been inside an antebellum mansion until that spring in New Orleans. And the old house rally did have white fluted columns on the front, though the paint was peeling away. Greek Revival style they called it—a long violet-gray town house on a dark shady corner in the Garden District, its front gate guarded it seemed by two enormous oaks. The iron lace railings were made in a rose pattern and much festooned with vines—purple wisteria, the yellow Virginia creeper, and bougainvillea of a dark, incandescent pink.

He liked to pause on the marble steps and look up at the Doric capitals, wreathed as they were by those drowsy fragrant blossoms. The sun came in thin dusty shafts through the twisting branches. Bees sang in the tangle of brilliant green leaves beneath the peeling cornices. Never mind that it was so somber here, so damp.

Even the approach through the deserted streets seduced him. He walked slowly over cracked and uneven sidewalks of herringbone brick or gray flagstone, under an unbroken archway of oak branches, the light eternally dappled, the sky perpetually veiled in green. Always he paused at the largest tree that had lifted the iron fence with its bulbous roots. He could not have gotten his arms around the trunk of it. It reached all the way from the pavement to the house itself, twisted limbs clawing at the shuttered windows beyond the banisters, leaves enmeshed with the flowering vines.

But the decay here troubled him nevertheless. Spiders wove their tiny intricate webs over the iron lace roses. In places the iron had so rusted that it fell away to powder at the touch. And here and there near the railings, the wood of the porches was rotted right through.

Then there was the old swimming pool far beyond the garden—a great long octagon bounded by the flagstones, which had become a swamp unto itself with its black water and wild irises. The smell alone was frightful. Frogs lived there, frogs you could hear at dusk, singing their grinding, ugly song. Sad to see the little fountain jets up one side and down the other still sending their little arching streams into the muck. He longed to drain it, clean it, scrub the sides with his own hands if he had to. Longed to patch the broken balustrade, and rip the weeds from the overgrown urns.

Even the elderly aunts of his patient—Miss Carl, Miss Millie, and Miss Nancy—had an air of staleness and decay. It wasn't a matter of gray hair or wire-rimmed glasses. It was their manner, and the fragrance of camphor that clung to their clothes.

Once he had wandered into the library and taken a book down from the shelf. Tiny black beetles scurried out of the crevice. Alarmed he had put the book back.

If there had been air-conditioning in the place it might have been different. But the old house was too big for that—or so they had said back then. The ceilings soared fourteen feet overhead. And the sluggish breeze carried with it the scent of mold.

His patient was well cared for, however. That he had to admit. A sweet old black nurse named Viola brought his patient out on the screened porch in the morning and took her in at evening.

"She's no trouble at all, Doctor. Now, you come on, Miss Deirdre, walk for the doctor." Viola would lift her out of the chair and push her patiently step by step.

"I've been with her seven years now, Doctor, she's my sweet girl."

Seven years like that. No wonder the old woman's feet had started to turn in at the ankles, and her arms to draw close to her chest if the nurse didn't force them down into her lap again.

Viola would walk her round and round the long double parlor, past the harp and the Bosendorfer grand layered with dust. Into the long broad dining room with its faded murals of moss-hung oaks and tilled fields.

Slippered feet shuffling on the worn Aubusson carpet. The woman was forty-one years old, yet she looked both ancient and young—a stooped and pale child, untouched by adult worry or passion. Deirdre, did you ever have a lover? Did you ever dance in that parlor?

Anne Rice

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Anne Rice was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, which provided the backdrop for many of her famous novels. She was the author of more than 30 books, including her first novel, Interview with the Vampire, which was published in 1976. It has since gone on to become one of the best-selling novels of all time, and was adapted into a major motion picture starring Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Kirsten Dunst, and Antonio Banderas. In addition to The Vampire Chronicles, Anne was the author of several other best-selling supernatural series including Mayfair Witches, Queen of the Damned, the Wolf Gift, and Ramses the Damned. Under the pen name A.N. Roquelaure, Anne was the author of the erotic (BDSM) fantasy series, The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy. Under the pen name Anne Rampling she was the author of two erotic novels, Exit to Eden and Belinda. A groundbreaking artist whose work was widely beloved in popular culture, Anne had this to say of her work: "I have always written about outsiders, about outcasts, about those whom others tend to shun or persecute. And it does seem that I write a lot about their interaction with others like them and their struggle to find some community of their own. The supernatural novel is my favorite way of talking about my reality. I see vampires and witches and ghosts as metaphors for the outsider in each of us, the predator in each of us...the lonely one who must grapple day in and day out with cosmic uncertainty."

Series should've ended with 'Witching Hour' *some spoilers*

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2009

Verified Purchase

...of course, that's just my opinion.
:)
I've been a long-time reader of Rice's books...since I was 14 and 'interview with the vampire' came out, in fact. (the movie)
Anne Rice is a masterful storyteller. This is a lovely, twisted, haunting and at times romantic tale of a family who discovered power, wealth, pain and death through their association w/a 'nature spirit' called LASHER.
The story really kicked off for me when we traveled back to the beginning of the tale. The year 1689. We learn of the first of the so-called 'witches': the well-meaning and kind-hearted but simple and naive Suzanne who conjured Lasher in the fields of Donnelaith with her young daughter Deborah -- only to burn from her inability to understand that the being had the ability to develop a will and purpose almost independent of her.
Deborah never used Lasher with evil intent; she simply did NOT understand the being she dealt with (to wield and control him properly).
Although he loved her -- loved all the Mayfair women -- he was not mindless. His actions were sometimes the result of what *HE thought* the witch desired in her heart and this led to Suzanne's demise at the hands of the townsfolk. Later generations (her granddaughter to be exact) would have a better grasp of this concept. Yet, the fam's methods vfor dealing with Lasher varied as some witches were inherently weaker than others.
Overall...this was the crux of the entire problem. The fact that Lasher could 'learn'. The fact that he developed intent, knowledge of himSELF and -- later -- used his newly found knowledge and self-awareness to plot, manipulate and steer the family to suit *HIS* purpose.

But--
Rice provides GREAT insight into the character of Lasher through his talks with Rowan (present day) although his motives for attaching himself to the family are still somewhat obscure. We learn how the Lasher came to service the family. How he came into being -- or actually, that he always 'was'.

"The newly emerging intelligences of man, locked in matter, nevertheless perceived us, and thereby caused us to perceive ourselves. ...For millenia, these human spiritual intelligences developed; they grew stronger and stronger; they developed telepathic powers; they sensed our existence; they named us and talked to use and seduced us; if we took notice, we were changed; we thought of ourselves.
...(we learned) all things from you (humans). Self-consciousness, desire, ambition. You are dangerous teachers. And we are discontent."
THEN-->
"...Who am I? I am the one who wept for Suzanne when no one wept. I am the one who felt agony without end, when even Deborah stood numb, staring at the body of her mother's twisting in the fire. I am the one who saw the spirit of Suzanne leave the pain-wracked body. I saw it rise upwards, freed, and without care.
Do I have a soul that it could know such joy -- that Suzanne would suffer no more?
I reached out for her spirit, shaped still in the form of her body, for she did not know yet that such a form was not required of her, and I tried to penetrate and to gather, to take unto myself what was now like unto me.
But the spirit of Suzanne went past me. It took no more notice of me than the burning husk in the fire.
Upwards it went away from me and beyond me, and there was no more Suzanne...
...Who am I? I am Lasher, who came down to sit at the feet of Deborah and learn how to have purpose, to obtain ends, to do the will of Deborah in perfection so that Deborah would never suffer; Lasher, who tried and failed."

He was the most interesting character in the book, imo. Rowan...Michael? Meh. I don't care about them. They're main characters but they might as well be in the background. Anyway, I'm a 'who/what/when/where/why' type person and I appreciate details. Insight...so I've no issue with the time flipflopping back in forth. Some posters are writing as though this was a time-travel book. LOL
C'mon -- it's not THAT confusing.
In honesty, it didn't flip that much. Goes something like this:
-- Present day
-- 1600's and beyond.(you review the history as depicted in the files by a secret order called the Talamasca who make it their business to keep watch over what they consider to be supernatural matters). Here you chronicle the journey of the Mayfairs through the centuries from a first-hand source, outsider perspective and witness accounts
-- Present day.

That's all.
I suppose some folks were bored with the long drawn out story, started skipping ahead to get to the 'good part' and just plumb got lost in the blizzard of words and imagery. LOL
I did the same in the beginning. So I understand. LOL I do it with most books. Yet, with a story like this -- you HAVE to backtrack. There must be a basis and you have to tell that history.

Anyway, you can always count on Rice to provide plenty of rich details and depth.
I read the rest of the books in the MayFair Witches' series and was really disappointed with the direction the story decided to take.
The whole Morrigan-Talto's thing was pretty...anti-climactic. Just didn't like them.
But I did like THIS book.

Mesmerizing and powerful

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2023

A fabulous and fantastic tale of the Mayfair family, who is haunted by a spirit familiar, Lasher, and how the spirit shapes the past, the present and the future.

Each generation one of the Mayfair descendants is chosen to be the legacy designee and they inherit everything in the family - millions of dollars, power, passion, extravagance- and the spirit. The designee often ends up medicated, insane or dead.

When the legacy passes to California surgeon Dr. Rowan Mayfair, she marries her love Michael Curry, and they go back to N’Orleans, where their lives are forever intertwined.

Darkly magical, mysterious and mesmerizing in its power, the characters truly come alive from the pen of master storyteller Anne Rice.

A spellbinding novel about the Mayfair generations and an absolutely worthwhile read.

wonderfully witchy

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2016

Verified Purchase

The Witching Hour is a great Anne Rice Novel. I found it not quite as iconic and original as Interview With a Vampire, but is an extremely entertaining and enjoyable read. It is the story of a powerful and rich witching family that mostly lives in New Orleans. The family started out in Europe in the 1600s when a gifted but simpleminded "cunning woman" calls down a spirit in Scotland. This spirit, named Lasher, stays with her and her offspring over the course of 13 generations of witches. The witches all keep the last name Mayfair, and the spirit helps them grow wealthy and powerful, but is somewhat of a monkey's paw in that tragedy and manipulation of the witches also occurs pretty frequently. The 13th and final witch, Rowan, is very powerful, is a scientist (neurosurgeon) and is a wonderful strong female character beautifully drawn by Anne Rice as she comes to terms with this spirit and finds out the truth about her character.

The book jumps around in time and story lines, but is not hard to follow. All the threads come together well and it is a nicely put together novel. Rice's supernatural characters are refreshingly human. They have depth, they lie, they cheat, they love, they have limitations to their powers. Quite a difference to other similar genre books such as Twilight or Discovery of Witches. The ending is a bit of a shocker and a cliff hanger, and though I always wish it would end differently and more happily, I can't say it is not fitting to what the novel had been building to. Like her vampire series, the first is the best in this series as well. The remaining books are not bad, but the characters undergo some weird personality and even physical changes and I have to admit I could never really like or get behind the character of Mona who grows to prominence in book two.

Some minor quibbles of this first novel are that it is a bit overly-flowery in the language at times (expected of Anne Rice), a bit repetitive in the descriptions of New Orleans, and it drags a bit in the middle once the saga of the witches is done being read, but nothing really major to drag the book down. Not a dumbed down reading experience but an intelligent and relatively complex novel for grownups. Just picked it up and read again after several years and it holds up well - though some of the 80's technology is a bit dated now.

AMAZING!!!

I read The Witching Hour when I was in my early 20's and absolutely loved it. Now I am a writer and picked her book up again and read it as a writer. If I could only be half as good of a writer as Anne Rice, then I will be happy. I was swept away for the second time by her intricately seductive world of witches and history. Although there is a lot of description in this book, it took me deeper and deeper into the lives of the Mayfair Witches and I couldn't put it down for a second time. I can't wait to read it again in another 10 years or so! Absolutely worth the read and time. You won't be able to put it down. If you find the description boring, then you truly can't call yourself a reader!
