Interview With the Vampire

by Anne Rice · 1672

When fledgling vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac recounts his centuries‑long existence to a curious young reporter, the night becomes a haunting confession of love, loss, and the relentless hunger that defines immortality. Through the eyes of the enigmatic and charismatic Lestat, Louis is drawn into a world of decadent decadence, moral ambiguity, and sensual terror, where every sunrise threatens to end a fragile humanity and every midnight promises a new, intoxicating freedom. Anne Rice weaves a lush, gothic tapestry that explores the paradox of eternal life—its exquisite pleasures and its crushing loneliness—inviting readers to taste the darkness and feel the pulse of a myth reborn.
