The Lives of the Mayfair Witches is a series of novels written by the horror author Anne Rice. They feature the Mayfairs, a New Orleans family of witches and their connection to a spirit named Lasher, spanning several generations. The primary novels of the series are The Witching Hour, Lasher, and Taltos, though characters and plot lines continue into other novels, most notably Blood Canticle. The house featured in the novels as the home of the "legacy family" is an actual home in The Garden District of New Orleans, LA; and is located at 1239 1st Street. The house was purchased and restored by Anne Rice and her husband, the artist Stan Rice in 1989 after returning to live in New Orleans. The "legacy house" features prominently in the Mayfair story, and was described by the author nearly exactly as it appeared in real life.
