	Vampire library of Darkness : Merrick, Anne Rice (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		It is he who recounts Merrick's haunting tale--a tale that takes us from the New Orleans of past and present to the jungles of Guatemala, from the Maya ruins of a century ago to ancient civilizations not yet explored.
		Anne Rice's richly told novel weaves an irresistible story of two worlds: the witches' world and the vampires' world, where magical powers and otherworldly fascinations are locked together in a dance of seduction, death, and rebirth.
		At the center of Anne Rice's new novel is the beautiful, unconquerable Merrick, a child--a witch with the power and magical knowledge of a Medea and a Circe.

	Merrick, By Anne Rice
		She is a descendant of the gens de colors libres, a cast derived from the fl mistresses of white men, a society of New Orleans octaroons and quadroons, steeped in the lore and ceremony of voodoo, who reign in the shadowy world where the African and the French--the white and the dark--intermingle.
		Merrick grounds its ghostly goings-on in Rice's sensuous descriptions, her knowledge of occult lore and her research into the gens de couleur libre, the New Orleans social class to which Merrick's family belongs--descendants of the fl mistresses of white men, a mingling of French and African influences.
		Merrick, a descendant of a little known African American branch of the Mayfair family, is raised in New Orleans by her godmother, Great Nananne, a powerful voodoo woman.

	Review: Merrick, reviewed by Jen Larsen
		Merrick Mayfair is as impossibly gorgeous, as sensuous as the vampires, and as deeply mysterious and supernatural.
		From there, the novel is something of a quest, a Tolkien-like trek through a series of obstacles, before the goal is reached.
		The novel covers familiar Rice territory, but in wedding her two series -- her witches and her more famous vampires -- she clearly means to breathe new life into a line of novels that had begun to flounder, lost in the usual formulas, those Anne Rice clichés.

	SBPL Book Review
		Merrick, in her early-to-mid-thirties, is a scholar with the ancient Talamasca Order of "psychic investigators".
		In the beginning of the novel she is contacted by David Talbot, her Talamasca mentor and the order's former Superior General.
		David, besotted with Merrick, narrates how he came to know her as a child, how he and his then friend and colleague Aaron had brought her into the Talamasca Order fulfilling her dying Godmother's wish and how he and Merrick had gone off to South America to seek strength from ancient magic artifacts.

		Merrick, which is yes, the 7th book in the series, also mixes in the Mayfair Witches from "The Witching Hour" series.
		After 6 novels in which her vampires have confronted grief, love, loss, life and the sun, destroyed Akasha, mother of all vampires, switched bodies, and gone to Heaven and Hell with Memnoch, a being claiming to be nothing less than the Devil himself, what could possibly be left?
		David Talbot continues to evolve as a character and as a vampire, and Merrick is one of the most fascinatingly complex creations that is desired more of her, and I hope that she is in more of Rice's future "Vampire" novels.

		Merrick with this work of super-pessimism; my friends being so confirmed in their belief that he was a super-pessimist.
		Merrick has not, to my knowledge, written one novel in which his hero is represented as having achieved complacency.
		Merrick had ever invented a hero who submitted tamely to tame success, to fat prosperity; or who had stepped, were it ever so lightly, into the dirty morass of accepted comfort, then would I cheerfully admit to anybody that Leonard Merrick is a Pessimistic Writer.

	Boom and bust, then and now / Novel of high finance alternates between 1690s London and 1990s New York
		Gary Krist's third novel, "Extravagance," looks at those questions and responds with a knowing smirk: The only thing to learn from a bubble bursting is that there will be another bubble, and that it will burst again.
		The novel's main strength, though, is Krist's refusal to be didactic about his boom-bust theme.
		Merrick isn't a young man who lusts for money because he's monochromatically arrogant; he lusts because he slowly comes to feel he has no choice.

		Based on the novel The Elephant Man by Ashley Montagu, Pomerance weaves the tale of John Merrick for the stage.

		Merrick faced what every human being who grows old or falls ill must endure, the sufferer's painful questions about cause and effect, about personal guilt or cosmic cruelty.

	Merrick (Vampire/Witches Chronicles) \| Stylegala
		Merrick is some sort of distant relation, but there is no appearance of any character from the Witch's series (except for an extremely brief and unnecessary cameo by Julian).
		"Merrick" is the seventh novel in "The Vampire Chronicles" crossing over with "Lives of the Mayfair Witches" which exists in the same universe.
		Merrick is one of the most obvious Mary Sue characters to ever invade popular fiction.

		Eva Brann maintains that the "Raj novels are among the greatest prose fictions of this and of the nineteenth century" known for its "many fine realistic novels" (187).

		Yet his novels fulfill our expectations of the historical novel, concerned as they are with the legacy of the past, race and class discrimination, and conflicting nationalism and ideologies.

		And for Merrick the novel that's going to be published in October of 2000, I read a lot of Conan Doyle to get the British voice that David needs to tell that story.
		And at the end of the novel, I had to face the fact that Lestat was a vivid and compelling character.
		My novels are kind of dreams of their own, and I don't carry over either my dream world or my dreams into my novels.

	Review \| Merrick by Anne Rice
		With the publication of Pandora in 1998, Rice announced she was committed to producing two books per year in the foreseeable future: a "big" novel every fall and a vampire novella in the spring.
		The title character in Rice's latest book is Merrick Mayfair, a young woman from a different branch of the same Mayfair family that populates her Mayfair Witch sagas.
		Raised since her early teen years by the Talamasca -- a mysterious, ancient and secret organization -- as a bit of a prodigy of the venerable David Talbot prior to his conversion by Lestat, Merrick is a beautiful and powerful sorceress.

		Christine Sparks' famous novel, The Elephant Man, William Shakespeare's play, "Romeo and Juliet", and Mildred Taylor's novel, Let the Circle Be Unbroken, all convey the idea that hatred, which develops out of the evil within man's heart, can only lead to destruction.
		In Christine Sparks' novel, The Elephant Man, many of the characters express hatred towards a character referred to as the Elephant Man. One of the first characters introduced in the play is Mr.
		Another character in the novel named Dr. Treves is a kind, compassionate man. However, when he first meets Merrick, he chooses not to associate with John because of his outward appearance and apparent lack of intelligence.

		The novel has the feel of a massive, sprawling canvas, teeming with colour and invention, the locales move from her beloved New Orleans to a colourfully realised Brazilian jungle, and set against this are the larger-than-life characters Rice excels in.
		Merrick takes a little while to establish herself but when she assumes centre stage, the reader will find the wait well worthwhile.
		This is Merrick's story, she merely becomes involved in the chronicles because of Louis and their stoies become intertwined towards the end of the novel.

		In her latest novel, "Merrick," Rice combines the immortal characters of the "Mayfair Witches" and the "Vampire Chronicles" to tell the story of Merrick, a practicing witch and raging alcoholic, and her trials and tribulations, including her semi-deceased family.
		By page 120 of 307, there is an entire chapter devoted to the family biography of Merrick and her conversion to witchcraft.
		If the only way to destroy a vampire is to expose them to direct sunlight, then the only surefire way to destroy Rice's tradition of writing about the same story is to shed some light onto her dark, one-track mind.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Merrick
		Since the death of her guardian grandmother, Merrick has been the ward of David and his organization.
		It is shorter than many of Rice's novels, and seems to be mainly meant to redefine the characters and relationships of Lestat, the vampires created by Lestat (Louis and David), and Merrick.
		I'm of the view that while it might be true that a novel produced by a committee, by a collaboration of a writer and an editor, or team of editors, might result in a more perfect commercial entertainment, that product would be less of the individual writer's own eccentric artistic vision.
