Interview with the Vampire

by Anne Rice

Buy on Amazon

This is the story of Louis, as told in his own words, of his journey through mortal and immortal life. Louis recounts how he became a vampire at the hands of the radiant and sinister Lestat and how he became indoctrinated, unwillingly, into the vampire way of life. His story ebbs and flows through the streets of New Orleans, defining crucial moments such as his discovery of the exquisite lost young child Claudia, wanting not to hurt but to comfort her with the last breaths of humanity he has inside. Yet, he makes Claudia a vampire, trapping her womanly passion, will, and intelligence inside the body of a small child. Louis and Claudia form a seemingly unbreakable alliance and even "settle down" for a while in the opulent French Quarter.…

"There’s a levity to Anne’s writing, but also a sexiness. She brings you into the world of these vampires who have lived for ages. One of the characters, Lestat, is quite decadent. He’s completely over the top—people love him or hate him—and he just never dies. I’ve read all the books in the series, and I’ve watched the films, and he’s quite extravagant, but that’s what’s great. Anne Rice took the vampire trope and made it something completely unique and a bit sexy. At the other end of the spectrum is Salem’s Lot."
