The Wolf Gift

《夜訪吸血鬼》，吸血鬼類型小說天后作者Anne Rice全新類型力作

　　當記者Reuben被派去採訪一處位於峭壁上的豪宅人家時，他沒有想到會受到女主人的溫情接待。他同樣始料未及的是會被一個不知名的生物猛烈攻擊，從此改變了他的人生。

　　Reuben發現他的身體在被攻擊後漸漸起了變化，而他也開始試著適應這些恐怖且誘人的改變，同時學習如何在人類及狼人的世界繼續生存下去。

　　吸血鬼小說天后Anne Rice繼成功打造小說中吸血鬼的形象後，此次將寫作重心移向古老的狼人傳說。過去在恐怖小說裡充滿獸性的狼人，在其擅於寫作超自然題材的生花妙筆下，有了超越以往的面貌。本書中的Reuben也成為Anne Rice寫作世界的新英雄。

　　When Reuben, otherwise known as Sunshine Boy, was sent to write a piece about the uncertain future of the giant house on the cliff, he wasn’t expecting to warm so instantly to elegant heiress Marchent Nideck. Nor was he expecting to get caught up in a violent attack which will leave him changed in ways he could never have imagined ...

　　Anne Rice’s ’Vampire Chronicles’ defined a genre, but now she has another age-old story in her sights: the terrifying werewolf legend. The classic monster of horror fiction is here reimagined and reinvented, with all Rice’s supernatural sympathy and inventiveness, as a romantic being, a potentially tragic figure bestowed with the gift of transformation and transcendence.

　　The Wolf Gift is a glorious celebration - of storytelling, of possibility, of truths revealed in the half-light. And in The Wolf Gift’s Reuben, we have a brand new hero for a brand new Anne Rice world.
