Née en 1941 à La Nouvelle-Orléans, Anne Rice commence à écrire au milieu des années 1970 ce qu'elle pense être "une courte nouvelle sur le thème du vampirisme". Entretien avec un vampire deviendra un livre culte, le premier volume des "Chroniques des vampires". Reine du fantastique moderne qu'elle a révolutionné en lui apportant sensualité et démesure, elle passe au roman historique avec La Voix des anges, superbe histoire de castrats à Venise, et à l'érotisme avec Les infortunes de la Belle au bois dormant. Revenue à ses chers vampires avec Lestat, le vampire et La Reine des damnés, elle se consacre bientôt à "La Saga des sorcières de Mayfair", avec Le Lien maléfique, L'Heure des sorcières et Taltos. Parmi les dix tomes constituant "Les Chroniques des vampires", trois réunissent les personnages des deux séries : Merrick, Le Domaine Blackwood et Le Cantique sanglant.

Résumé
In eighteenth-century Italy the Castrati recreated heaven on earth. Their exquisite voices soared above the glittering world of courtiers and nobility. Those who achieved fame were showered with riches and sexual favours, but their success also hid a terrible sadness. Tonio, of noble birth, is the victim of a vengeful brother. Disinherited and forced to join the ranks of the Castrati, he plans his revenge while striving to become the greatest of all singers.
Guido, sacrificed to the knife at an early age, composes opera and dreams of the perfect voice to give it life. He discovers Tonio and becomes his teacher. As together they reach the very pinnacle of success, Tonio is pushed to the extremes of endurance as he tries to resolve his lust for glory, and for vengeance...
Guido, sacrificed to the knife at an early age, composes opera and dreams of the perfect voice to give it life. He discovers Tonio and becomes his teacher. As together they reach the very pinnacle of success, Tonio is pushed to the extremes of endurance as he tries to resolve his lust for glory, and for vengeance...
