Everything you need to understand or teach Lasher.
Elaborate and mysterious, Anne Rice's Lasher follows the lives of the Mayfair family, a group of witches whose genetic predispositions make them vulnerable to attack by an eldritch demon named Lasher. The novel takes place in and around New Orleans, LA, but is in many respects a global and historical novel, tracing the lineage of the Mayfairs all the way back to the Scottish Highlands and involving the reader in deep lore and mythology. While the lives of the Mayfairs unfold, the novel explores themes of inheritance, gender, sex, wealth, and religion.
