Publisher's Summary
Into this exotic New Orleans realm comes David Talbot, hero, storyteller, adventurer, almost mortal vampire, visitor from another dark realm. It is he who recounts Merrick's haunting tale - a tale that takes us from the New Orleans of the past and present to the jungles of Guatemala, from the Mayan ruins of a century ago to ancient civilizations not yet explored.
Anne Rice's richly told novel weaves an irresistible story of two worlds: the witches' world and the vampires' world, where magical powers and otherworldly fascinations are locked together in a dance of seduction, death, and rebirth.
What the critics say
"Rice offers a haunting look at the separate but equally intriguing worlds of witches and vampires�" (Publishers Weekly)

Great book, Horrible Audio
Anne Rice never disappoints, the audio was horrible, almost unlistenable, not what I’ve come to expect from audible.

Amazing story horrible audio quality...
I thought Merrick was a great story even if the ending was a bit visible after reading the previous books from Anne Rice. When it comes to overall story loved it thought it was great to show the life of one of the least talked about Vampires in the series, Louie. Where this lacks and kept kicking me out of the story was the audio quality, at times it seemed like it was being Narrated by someone completely different. Graeme Malcolm does a great job it is just the audio quality itself. Yes you can listen to it but I found myself turning up the volume for a chapter then way down for another, not to mention the filters/eq on his voice changed multiple times. Overall I would listen to it again and I probably will.

Why so short of a story ?
The story is fine, just fine.. I love that there is a Mayfair witch involved. It's just definitely weird to have her there, and not know anything about her from previous story's.
The 1 thing I hate is the Narrator...
All of a sudden out of nowhere, it will sound like they went from the studio recording to recording in your car with your phone... It happens a lot throughout the story. It's very noticeable and will take you right out of the story...
Very disappointed in that part but overall it's certainly worth a listen to.

Poor audio quality but bearable. Louis’ accent is why sold it for me. Thank you

Kind of Boring
In the 90's I read Anne Rice's vampire series, and I kind of thought it jumped the shark at Queen of the Dammed. I read the Mayfair Witches which I quite liked. This book wasn't out yet. Also in the 90's there was a bit of an Anne Rice cult forming. When I saw this book on Audible, since I remembered the series fondly I picked it up.
Mostly nothing happens. The first 10 chapters are a vampire pontificating about the nature of the soul. I guess when the book came out and the sort of cult following was looking for lore, this was useful? Mostly it is just boring.
The narrator has a bored aloof tone which adds to the boredom of the book. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen but it was completely predictable. I guess the narrator subscribes to the motto "Be aloof, the world needs more loofs"?
