Titel: Merrick

Sammendrag: Romanen følger vampyren Louis de Pointe du Lac, der er ved at gå til i sorg og skyld over den dræbte vampyrpige Claudia. Han henvender sig til Merrick Mayfair, en heks med stærke voodoo-kræfter og forbindelse til Mayfair-klanen. Hun påtager sig at kalde Claudias ånd frem gennem blodige og farlige ritualer, som fører dem dybt ind i både åndeverdenen og Mayfair-familiens dunkle historie. Historien bevæger sig mellem New Orleans, Guatemalas jungler og Haiti og udforsker temaer som udødelighed, tab, besættelse og forbudt kærlighed i Anne Rices univers The Vampire Chronicles, hvor også Lestat spiller en central, om end mere perifer, rolle i denne del.
