O protagonista deste livro é Alex McAuliff 38 anos bacharel e mestre em Ciência Ph.D. Quando um certo Julian Warfield o procura chamando-o por seu nome completo Alexander Tarquin McAuliff quase desconhecido ele logo percebe que está diante de alguém que andou investigando sua vida. E ele está certo. Depois de deixar bem claro que sabe tudo sobre McAuliff o velho Warfield faz sua proposta - ele oferece dois milhões de dólares por uma detalhada pesquisa geológica no interior da Jamaica. Seu objetivo é construir uma cidade mas ele não quer contratar o serviço de uma firma prefere lidar com um indivíduo cujos passos tenham sido minuciosamente investigados a fim de garantir o sigilo absoluto de sua operação - Warfield não quer chamar a atenção dos especuladores que fariam o preço das terras disparar e inviabilizariam o projeto. Pelo menos é isso que ele diz. Nem mesmo a equipe que McAuliff vier a contratar para o trabalho deve ficar sabendo do que se trata. A proposta é tentadora mas um tanto obscura. Tudo fica mais estranho quando o serviço de inteligência toma conhecimento do caso e procura McAuliff para lhe fazer uma importante revelação - o último grupo que a empresa de Warfield mandou para a Jamaica desapareceu sem deixar pistas.

"Vook presents a powerful story by the undisputed Queen of Vampire Literature, Anne Rice. The Master of Rampling Gate is a chilling tale of vampiric seduction enhanced by seductive videos about vampires, the black plague, the gothic style, and Anne Rice herself.
Set in the gasslit streets of 1888 London and the wild moors of the countryside beyond, The Master of Rampling Gate tells the story of Julie, a young woman who becomes obsessed with the house her father swore her and her brother to tear down upon his death. Julie can't imagine what lies in wait at Rampling Gate, a spirit that haunted her father for years and now yearns for her flesh. The Master of Rampling Gate is a sublime love story in which Julie struggles to choose between the world of reason and rationality and the dark promises of a creature she is almost helpless to resist.
Experience this rare Anne Rice short story as a Vook. Read AND watch the heart pounding tale as you take a journey back in time to the late 1800s, a world of endless nights, secret passions and the promise of dark and nameless pleasures . "

The Anne Rice Value Collection: Lasher, The Witching Hour, Taltos
Anne Rice
Together for the first time on CD are three powerful and alluring stories of New Orleans’ Dynasty of witches, The Mayfair Witches.
Lasher, read by Joe Morton At the heart of this extraordinary saga is Rowan Mayfair’s attempt to escape the evil spell and vision of the darkly compelling demon, Lasher, and his pursuit of her and their terrifying and exquisite child. It is a novel that moves around the globe, backward and forward through time, and between the human and demonic worlds.
The Witching Hour, read by Lindsay Crouse The epic of the Mayfair witches begins when Rowan Mayfair pulls the drowned body of Michael Curry from the sea and brings him back to life. She is aware that she possesses special powers, but unaware that she comes from a great dynasty of withces. He, in his brief interlude with death, has acquired sendsory abilities that mystify and frighten him. Fiercely drawn to each other, the two fall in love and set out to solve the mystery of her past and his unwelcome gift.
Taltos, read by Tim Curry Meet Mr. Ash, quiet spoken, tall, unfailingly kind–sole survivor of an ancient species, the Taltos–thriving among humankind as he has always done, head of a great corporate empire. As the novel opens, he is stunned to learn from and old and mysterious friend that another Taltos has been seen. At once he is propelled into the world of Rowan Mayfair, into the mysteries of the Mayfair family–a family initimately involved with the heritage of the Taltos.
