Here are the confessions of a vampire. Hypnotic, shocking, and chillingly erotic, 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.

When she wrote the novel, Anne Rice overturned the traditional view of the vampire, held since Bram Stoker's Dracula. Long considered the dark and dangerous outsider, Rice gave the vampire a voice: the hero is no longer the vampire hunter, but the vampire himself. Whether you consider the sympathetic and morally tortured Louis, or the sexy and exciting Lestat, Rice's vampires are accessible, desirable and extremely vocal. Louis hates taking others' lives tosurvive, but Lestat keeps telling him to forget about that dark aspect. They rompthrough the nights of eighteenth century New Orleans for years until Louis givesinto his blood lust and feeds on an orphan girl. They make her into the hauntingvampire-child Claudia, and this is when the story picks up. The three traveltogether until Claudia, driven mad by her eternal youth, splits from the trio. The plot itself is amazing, but this is not what makes the story soenthralling. For the first time in modern literature, a book tells an in-depthstory of a vampire.
