Interview with the Vampire
Anne Rice · 1977 · 368 pages
The spellbinding classic that started it all, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author—the inspiration for the hit television series
“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.

“When I first read that book, I just couldn’t believe how great it was. And as a guy who lived in San Francisco – at the time, Anne Rice lived in San Francisco and there were all these connections to Anne Rice – it was pretty cool. She used to hang out at this one bar that was on the corner right down the street from my old house in San Francisco, and that bar was where she came up with a lot of the ideas for Interview with the Vampire.”↗
