"A magnificent, compulsively readable thriller . . . Rice begins where Bram Stoker and the Hollywood versions leave off and penetrates directly to the true fascination of the myth--the education of the vampire."--Chicago Tribune
Here are the confessions of a vampire. Hypnotic, shocking, and chillingly sensual, this is a novel of mesmerizing beauty and astonishing force--a story of danger and flight, of love and loss, of suspense and resolution, and of the extraordinary power of the senses. It is a novel only Anne Rice could write.

Interview with the Vampire, both the book and the subsequent film, were pillars of my defining years. RIP Anne Rice

Anne Rice’s books meant the world to me when I was growing up. Thank you for Interview With The Vampire, for Lestat & for writing queer normative stories at a time when there were few or no queer characters in books. You are & were a huge influence and inspiration. Rest, peace. https://t.co/WtBbFa2Bpo
