I’m the original owner of this book. On the pasted down front endpaper, My name (Nichelle Johnson), was written in cursive by me, when I bought this book in 1990. I attended an Anne Rice Booksigning in 1990, in Chicago. It occurred at Unabridged Bookstore in Lakeview. On the second Title Page, Anne Rice wrote-For Nyx. Nyx is my nickname.

II've been a fan of Anne Rice for over 4 decades. She is one of my favorite writers. I’m so happy to share these with fans of her works. No one writes such detailed works of horror as Anne Rice. It’s very easy to become mesmerized by her tales of the Supernatural.
