Reviews for Vittorio the Vampire: New Tales of the Vampires

Perhaps most famous for her six-volume Vampire Chronicles, Rice has now written a new series of short vampire novels, beautifully produced by her publishers in a stylish small-format design. Set amid the splendours - and political intrigues - of the Italian Renaissance, Vittorio follows the fortunes of a 16-year-old survivor of a violent massacre at his father's Tuscan palazzo. A passionate tale of doomed love and lost innocence, which vividly evokes this extraordinary period in history while the drama unfolds, this is a hugely enjoyable read by a true mistress of her craft.
