Vook presents a powerful story by the undisputed Queen of Vampire Literature, Anne Rice. The Master of Rampling Gate is a chilling tale of vampiric seduction enhanced by seductive videos about vampires, the black plague, the gothic style, and Anne Rice herself.Set in the gasslit streets of 1888 London and the wild moors of the countryside beyond, The Master of Rampling Gate tells the story of Julie, a young woman who becomes obsessed with the house her father swore her and her brother to tear down upon his death. Julie can’t imagine what lies in wait at Rampling Gate, a spirit that haunted her father for years and now yearns for her flesh. The Master of Rampling Gate is a sublime love story in which Julie struggles to choose between the world of reason and rationality and the dark promises of a creature she is almost helpless to resist.Experience this rare Anne Rice short story as a Vook. Read AND watch the heart pounding tale as you take a journey back in time to the late 1800s, a world of endless nights, secret passions and the promise of dark and nameless pleasures.

ANNE RICE : SUPER STAR

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2013

Verified Purchase

I have loved Anne Rice's work ever since I first read about and fell in love with the mayfair Witches and Micheal so long ago.
the characters were so real for me that I did not need to be asked twice when my daughter asked me to join her on a trip to "Nola".We walked the garden district and it was almost a pilgrimage.
we were both devastsed shortly after when Nola and her people were struck by katrina .
I loved the Mayfair trilogy and have all 3: this will be my fisrt in a while ( loved " A Cry to Heaven as well ) because I have read the others so many times !!!
I have it safe on my Kindle and I am saving it for a long plane journey in August : I rated the videos at this point and I am sure the book itself will not let me down !

This is the first short story that I have read by Anne Rice. Had never seen it or heard of it before I saw on Amazon. Took a try sine I am a major fan of her work. For a short read it was great, especially towards the end how she tied it in to her future stories. If you are a fan give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Not so good

I love Anne Rice's writing and have read everything she's written. This book was over almost immediately as there was a great story building but left me hanging. There were also videos which might have contributed to the story but apparently my Kindle Fire didn't have the capability to open the videos even though I can download other videos. Just overall disappointed in this one.

Anne Rice is the queen

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2013

I'm not sure what I truly expected when I downloaded this story, but it was more than I could have imagined. I loved the story,although abbreviated and it left me wanting more detail, but only because like all of Anne's books it draws you in and makes you care. And then you add in the videos...ahhhhh. it all worked fine on the Kindle Fire HD. Worth it. The only drawback I found was it is only a very short story, but it isn't touted as a novel, so you should know before you buy it, so there is no trickery there.

Vintage Anne Rice

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2014

Master of Rampling Gate is classic Anne Rice. Predictable and too short, but enjoyable for those of us who pounced on, and devoured each new installment of the Lestat series with such enthusiastic relish. I am pleased by the absence of the ponderous religious theory, which has permeated some of Rice's post-Lestat offerings, and applaud her return to the paranormal. I gave this offering four stars for a pleasant classic read rather than five, because of its brevity.

A bit different from what I expected

I'm a huge Anne Rice fan. My only real disappointment was that it was too short. I was not able to view the embedded videos on my Kindle but I was able to see them on my iPhone. I love this idea and it added a lot to the story. I loved all the background on New Orleans. My husband is from there and it has been my adopted home for 42 years. We live in northern Louisiana but I always love our visits home.

A dark tale, yet vivid in details.

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2014

The Master Of Rampling Gate reminds me of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories of suspense. It is a dark tale, yes. But it is vivid in details. You could almost feel like you are inside the mansion while reading it. Exquisitely written and very articulate. Almost believable. I almost forgot it is a fiction. Another fast-paced read. I enjoyed it but dissappointed that it was a very short story, although I already know that. I highly recommend it to those who are into short stories. You will not regret it, though you may feel like wanting for more.

Like many others who provided a review of this Vook, I too am an Anne Rice fan. I was surprised that the story and character building was lacking and that it ended so abruptly. I had hoped there would be more. The embedded videos were more of a distraction than anything else they didn't add to the story. They were more like a break from it to learn about Anne and her life/inspirations.

This was a really good short story especially if you are a fan of Anne rice. The only complaint I have is that it was to short. It had 6 short videos with the book which were of interviews with Anne rice explaining her reasons for writing the book. This made it all tube mote interesting. The vampire and the Rampling family could have been developed into a longer book, but it was fun topic read anyway

Nice short story, typical Anne Rice.

the only down side is it is too short I read it in 10 -15 mins. you have all the usual Anne Rice writing, a little less dramatic. if you love Anne Rice you should give this the read it deserves.
