    About this ebook

    Mary Paige is a seventeen-year-old genius. Her photographic memory has made her smarter than anyone else, and more alone and lonely too. Her parents do not understand her. Her peers reject her. But her life changes during her senior year of high school. Mary Paige changes schools and it changes her life. Now she attends a special academy of the arts in a quiet mountain village, Idyllville. Little does anyone know, Idyllville is also the home of The Blood Vivicanti. Mary Paige’s photographic memory will make her one of the most dangerous creatures on the planet, once she becomes a part of this new breed of blood drinker who eats memories. International Bestselling Author ANNE RICE and BECKET bring you the original new story of THE BLOOD VIVICANTI.

      Becket’s note

      In 2011, Anne Rice and I began talking about the development of a new breed of blood drinkers.

      The first ground rule was that they had to have an entirely different cosmology from her other supernatural stories.

      She and I spent many weeks emailing back and forth, sharing copious detailed notes. We had several energetic lunches and dinners, whence we discussed the foundation and framework of the story you’re about to read. We swapped ideas about the strengths and weaknesses of these new blood drinkers, ideas about the characters themselves as well as their back-stories, and more ideas about potential narrative devices.

      One of the amazing facets of Anne’s writing method is that she seems to devote almost as much time to selecting the right names for things as she does to carefully crafting the narrative. Both go hand in hand, I’ve learned from her. She’s taught me much. The right name is as important as le mot juste.

      But what name would we call our new blood drinkers?

      One day, after we’d spent weeks thinking about what to call this new breed, I came into her office as she thumped closed a Latin textbook. She beamed at me with her irresistible smile. She told me she knew what to call our blood drinkers. She had not chosen a Latin word, but had developed a new word from Latin phraseology.

      What was the new word she’d developed?

      Vivicanti, she said as her smile broadened.

      I loved the word instantly!

      Our blood drinkers will be called, Anne Rice announced: The Blood Vivicanti.

      Then it was my job to write the story.

      I passed by you and saw you flailing about in your blood. As you lay in your blood I said to you: Live! and grow up like a plant of the field.

      You grew up and became tall and arrived at full womanhood. Your breasts were formed and your hair had grown. Yet you were naked and bare.

      —Ezekiel 16:6-7

      The Blood Vivicanti

      Part 1

      Mary Paige

      My name is Mary Paige.

      My skin is as white as a porcelain doll, but I’m not as fragile.

      My eyes are as green as emeralds. They shine like lanterns in the moonlight.

      My hair is as black as ravens. It hangs just past my shoulders in gentle waves.

      Some call my nose a button. Some say it’s cute.

      I have the body of a gymnast, small and lean and graceful. I wish I were as tall as five feet. People tower over me.

      I was made a Blood Vivicanti when I was seventeen years old.

      I was chosen to become what I am because of my photographic memory.
