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.

The Vampire Chronicles continue in Prince Lestat. Look for a special preview in the back of the book.

Praise for Interview with the Vampire

“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

“Unrelentingly erotic . . . sometimes beautiful, and always unforgettable.” — Washington Post

“If you surrender and go with her . . . you have surrendered to enchantment, as in a voluptuous dream.” — Boston Globe

“A chilling, thought-provoking tale, beautifully frightening, sensuous, and utterly unnerving.” — Hartford Courant**
