An international bestseller and beloved cultural touchstone, Anne Rice’s classic novel Interview with the Vampire starts "where Bram Stoker and the Hollywood versions leave off and penetrates directly to the true fascination of the myth" (Chicago Tribune). But that’s only the beginning. Over the course of twelve interwoven novels, Rice crafts a richly imagined, magnificently transporting epic around her chilling, charismatic antihero, Lestat. An aristocrat in the heady days of pre-revolutionary France who lives to become a rock star in the demonic, shimmering 1980s, Lestat rushes through the centuries in search of others like him, seeking answers to the mystery of his eternal, terrifying existence.
