VIOLIN BY ANNE RICE

Violin is a 1997 supernatural novel by Anne Rice, a departure from her vampire sagas, that tells the story of Triana, a grieving woman in New Orleans, and Stefan, a demonic ghost violinist from the 19th century who uses his magic violin to torment and seduce her, drawing them both into a supernatural struggle over music, madness, and life itself. The book is known for its poetic, gothic style, exploring themes of grief, loss, and the power of music, and is considered by some to be a deeply personal and autobiographical work for Rice, reflecting her own experiences with loss and her life in New Orleans.
