About this Item

A 1995 first edition of Anne Rice's boldest and most controversial Vampire Chronicles novel, "Memnoch the Devil"?the book where Lestat encounters the Devil himself and embarks on a theological journey through Heaven, Hell, and the history of creation.

In this fifth Chronicle, Rice pushes beyond vampire lore into profound questions about God, evil, and the nature of existence. Memnoch claims to be the Devil, and he wants Lestat as his lieutenant. What follows is a tour through Purgatory and witness to the Crucifixion itself. Rice at her most ambitious?a dark meditation on faith, suffering, and redemption wrapped in Gothic horror.

This novel divided Rice fans and critics but remains essential for Vampire Chronicles completists and anyone interested in Rice's theological explorations.

First edition confirmed (stated on copyright page). Published by Alfred A. Knopf. Hardcover with original dust jacket. The book is in Very Good condition. It's clean, tight, and square with light age toning to pages. Dust jacket Very Good with minor rollup/curl at top edge, otherwise bright and intact. Jacket unclipped at $25.00.

Condition: Very Good/Very Good

A solid copy of one of Rice's most philosophically ambitious novels. Increasingly collectible following Rice's passing in 2021.

Store Description

You're building something specific. Not just a shelf of books: a library with atmosphere. The kind of room that feels like it has a history before you walked into it. The problem is finding the real thing. The vintage market is full of book club editions dressed up as first printings, reprints with no dust jackets, and sellers who grade "Good" when they mean "survived a flood." It's time-consuming, confusing, and easy to overpay. That's where I come in. I'm Rob. I worked in the archive stacks at UW's Suzzallo Library. Gothic reading rooms, stained glass, the kind of place where books feel like they matter. I've been authenticating and grading vintage editions ever since. Now I spend weekends hunting first editions at estate sales across Northern California: literary horror, classic sci-fi, and Gothic fiction from the 1960s?1980s. The books that actually built the Dark Academia aesthetic, not the modern reprints cashing in on it. Every book in my shop has been verified for edition and graded honestly. Sometimes brutally. You'll know exactly what you're getting before it ships. Your order arrives wrapped in tissue paper with a wax seal sticker. Because the details matter, and you're not buying shelf filler. If you're building a library that looks like it belongs in a Victorian study instead of a big-box store, you're in the right place. Browse the collection.
