New Tales of the Vampires: Audiobooks in Order
Anne Rice needs little introduction to anyone who loves gothic fantasy, and New Tales of the Vampires shows her working in a leaner register. Our catalogue currently holds the second volume, Vittorio the Vampire, a seven hour plunge into her lush, blood-dark world. A 4.3 star average across 709 ratings tells you this shorter form lost none of her power to seduce and unsettle.

Why listen to New Tales of the Vampires?
In audio, Rice’s prose becomes something close to incantation. Jonathan Marosz narrates Vittorio the Vampire with a poised, old-world elegance that suits her ornate sentences, and at seven hours the recording moves with an urgency her longer sagas do not always manage.Starting here is less awkward than the volume number suggests, because the story stands comfortably on its own; newcomers can simply begin with what we have. It suits listeners who want Rice’s atmosphere in a single weekend, fans of the author curious about her side works, and anyone who prefers their vampires literary rather than romantic. If the first volume joins our catalogue later, you will lose little by having listened out of order.
Clara’s verdict
★★★★☆ 4.0/5
I rate this one with reasonable confidence: 709 listeners are a proper sample, and their 4.3 star average matches my own sense of the recording as strong rather than transcendent. Marosz is a sympathetic guide through Rice’s velvet prose, though listeners allergic to ornament should approach knowing exactly who she is. My honest position: a rich, well-made seven hours, and a persuasive argument for the series even with only one volume on our shelves so far.
