Interview with the Vampire

Brigid says: As a teenager, I watched a plethora of horror-comedies like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Fright Night, Once Bitten, and The Lost Boys. While I enjoyed the humor and tropes about immortal creatures of the night in movies and shows, this classic novel by Anne Rice was the first vampire novel I read and it opened my eyes to how much more there was to the long-told myths of Dracula and the like. I have vivid memories of devouring (couldn't resist that pun) this book late into the night. I was totally enthralled by the tense and often gruesome, long-spanning saga of Louis and the Vampire Lestat. That captivation has led me to search out and enjoy many more vampire novels over the years. Content warnings apply.
