Which 2001 novel by Anne Rice is titled Pandora?

Pandora is the title of Anne Rice’s 2001 novel about the vampire Pandora.

The novel is part of Rice’s New Tales of the Vampires series and presents Pandora as a vampire connected to the wider world of the Vampire Chronicles. Its narrative is framed as a written account by Pandora, allowing Rice to explore her memories, relationships, and long existence.

Rice’s Pandora is inspired by the classical name but is not a direct retelling of Hesiod’s myth. She is a fictional vampire with her own biography and place in Rice’s supernatural universe. The novel also connects with the character Marius, who appears elsewhere in the author’s vampire fiction.

The title can be confused with books that retell the Greek myth or use Pandora as a subtitle. Anne Rice’s work is specifically a 2001 vampire novel simply titled Pandora, published as part of her continuing exploration of immortal characters and historical settings.
