Holly Black, Sunday Times bestselling author of Book of Night 'Rice's sprawling, supernatural family saga cements her in perpetuity as a titan of the gothic genre. Daring, dark, and lovely.' S.T. Gibson, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Dowry of Blood 'A sensual, genre-defining thriller from the queen of gothic horror.' Jay Kristoff, New York Times bestselling author of Empire of the Vampire 'Anne Rice did what so few writers do, and created something truly original.' Cassandra Clare, New York Times bestselling author of Sword Catcher ---------------- Rowan Mayfair is special. A beautiful woman and a brilliant practitioner of neurosurgery, she also has special powers but is unaware that she comes from an ancient line of witches. One day, Rowan 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 set out to solve the mystery of her past and his unwelcome gift, an intricate tale of evil unfolds. And the witching hour begins. A hypnotic novel of witchcraft and the occult across four centuries, by the spellbinding, bestselling author of The Vampire Chronicles . ---------------- 'A curious amalgam of gothic, glamour fiction, alternate history, and high soap opera.' The Washington Post Book World '[W]hen I found Rice's work I absolutely loved how she took that genre and (...) made [it] feel so contemporary and relevant.' Sarah Pinborough, bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes '[Rice wrote] in the great tradition of the gothic' Ramsey Campbell, bestselling author of The Hungry Moon ---------------- READERS ABSOLUTELY THE WITCHING HOUR . . . ***** 'Can't get enough!' ***** 'Chilled me to the bone from the very beginning' ***** 'Dark.

Powerful.' ***** 'After the first few pages, I couldn't put it down.' ***** 'Her writing is so good.' ***** 'I absolutely loved this book' ***** ' These books are a wonderful world to enter' ***** 'I am so hooked on this book' ***** 'Haunting, elegant and twisted.' Review: Great book very imaginative and creepy - The book is much better than the tv series. I don't really know why they cut the house renovation out. Grand Designs is a very popular program. The restoration of the grand Mayfair house was like a witch version of Grand Designs. And whatever happened to Michael Curry? Who knows. Review: Oldie but Goldie - This book is so inspiring to me, that I feel I must read it every 3-5 years, of course this also includes Lasher and Taltos all from the same trilogy. The way Anne rice tells her stories are so enchanting and imaginative, that you feel like you are experiencing the stories together with the main characters. For new readers I can promise you, this is something you experience in almost all her novels. The way she plays with words and make you fall in love with all her hero's and heroin's, I have never met in other novels. So I must admit, that I come back to the Anne Rice universe quite often, and follow her immensely satisfying and creative storytelling Whenever i have the time for it. I use her books as healing when I feel lonely, as inspiration when live feels dull and tasteless or when I just want enjoy a great story. The only bad thing I can say about her novels, is that they end. I get so immersed in them, that I certainly do not enjoy it when the final chapter comes nearer :-) Best regards A admirer from the North. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 429,018 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 918 in Contemporary Horror 1,166 in Horror Fantasy 2,253 in Horror Occult & Supernatural | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 5,968 Reviews | ## Images ![The Witching Hour: Lives of the Mayfair Witches - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71U2CaFwxNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book very imaginative and creepy *by N***N on 30 January 2026* The book is much better than the tv series.

Of all the places in the US that I wouldn't mind visiting it is probably that city and this book plays no small part in it. Primarily about Rowan Mayfair, a neurosurgeon in San Francisco who was adopted at birth and starts to find out about her birth family after the death of her adoptive parents, and Michael Curry, a period house restorer who after a near death experience begins an interaction with Rowan and her Mayfair family. I don't think I would call this a horror novel, nothing particularly scary happens but it does build a rich atmosphere of danger, little and large hints that things are not quite right with the Mayfair family. Our two main characters are both fairly well drawn though there is more than a hint of Mary/Gary Stu about them. Both beautiful and rich and well educated with impeccable taste etc. The real selling point of this book is the history of the Mayfair family. I'd say a good third of this very large book is basically a written record of it, with some flashbacks thrown in as well. Some might find it boring but I thought it was the best bit. Anne Rice really invokes a sense of different times and places as the earliest bits go back to the seventeenth century. The ending felt somewhat rushed though which is surprising considering the length of the story. It also leaves on a bit of cliffhanger which I dislike. Be warned there is quite a lot of explicit sex scenes in the book, as well as references to rape and incest so if you dislike that probably stay away. However by and large I really enjoyed this, I was totally caught up in the story and seduced by the lifestyle portrayed. It is fairly melodramatic and overly long but in the right moment, as I was, this is a great read. PS If there is an organisation called The Talamasca, I would like to join, thanks. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/54402361-the-witching-hour-lives-of-the-mayfair-witches](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/54402361-the-witching-hour-lives-of-the-mayfair-witches) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
