slipstreamsurfrI started reading The Witching Hour by Anne Rice last night...
I'm just barely into the book.
What is it about her ability to write descriptions. When she starts in you have no doubt that you are in New Orleans. The settings are spot on, you can hear the cicadas in the trees, you can smell the flowers of the night, you can feel the steamy heat of the city. I know it's the mark of a good writer, but you can REALLY lose yourself in her writing.
