The Witching Hour by Anne Rice won the Locus Award for Horror/Dark Fantasy in 1991. I waded through this massive work and now I wonder why. I recognized the romance novel aspects early on, but kept thinking it would emphasize the horror/fantasy more. No. Very much a gothic romance to my mind and not to my taste at all. I'm not keeping it, and I'm not reading the sequels.
(sigh)
