Lestat, perfect vampire and eternal rebel, so gifted for evil yet so drawn by goodness, seeking constantly to justify the nature he abhors, makes his most reckless challenge ever - to defy both God and the Devil!
Amid the luxury and decay of present- day New York, Lestat chooses his victims with care, taking only those truly evil humans he can also love. But his obsession with Roger, a sophisticated drug lord - whose beautiful and saintly daughter Dora fascinates him even more - is plagued by the sense that Lestat, too, is being stalked, like one of his own victims.
In a momentous confrontation, Lestat is brought face to face with Memnoch, the Devil himself. Infinitely more powerful, more terrifying, more dangerously seductive than any vampire, Memnoch whirls Lestat on an apocalyptic journey through time and space to the dawn of humankind, to fourteenth- century Constantinople, Jerusalem in the days of Christ. And to the very gates of Hell.
At the mercy of terrible forces and his own demons, Lestat Will need more than the power of a holy relic, more even than Dora's unshakeable faith, if he is to be saved...
With its vast scope and epic scale, its themes of blood and redemption, temptation and damnation, Memnoch, the Devil takes the Vampire Lestat to new and mesmerizing heights.

Work Description
Memnoch the Devil (1995) is a horror novel by American writer Anne Rice, the fifth in her Vampire Chronicles series, following The Tale of the Body Thief. Many of the themes of this novel and in large part the title are re-borrowed from the 19th-century gothic novel Melmoth the Wanderer by Irish author Charles Maturin. In this story, Lestat is approached by the Devil and offered a job at his side.
