About this title

Review:

Praise for Christ the Lord

"Riveting. . . . Rice's book is a triumph of tone -- her prose lean, lyrical, vivid -- and character. As he ponders his staggering responsibility, the boy is fully believable -- and yet there's something in his supernatural empathy and blazing intelligence that conveys the wondrousness of a boy like no other. . . . With this novel, she has indeed found a convincing version of him; this is fiction that transcends story and instead qualifies as an act of faith. Joins Nikos Kazantzakis's The Last Temptation of Christ and Endo's A Life of Jesus as one of the bolder re-tellings."
--Kirkus Reviews (starred)

Praise for Blood Canticle

"When Anne Rice releases a new book in The Vampire Chronicles series, cheers from her huge fan base can be heard everywhere."
--The Edmonton Journal

From the Publisher:

The book Anne Rice was born to write, a novel about the childhood of Jesus from Alexandria to Judea in the turbulent 1st century - the story of the boy who was born to be King of the Jews, and the 'ultimate supernatural hero, the ultimate outsider, and the ultimate immortal of them all'.
