Editorial Reviews
One of the contemporary world's most popular and influential writers, Anne Rice uses her extraordinary literary skills to transform genre fiction - horror stories, erotica, and historical romance - into modern classics that illuminate the big questions of mortality and suffering for our time. Born in 1941 in New Orleans, the future author was christened Howard Allen O'Brien after her father but renamed herself Anne on her first day of Catholic school. In 1961, she married her high school sweetheart Stan Rice and moved to San Francisco. After the tragic death of her daughter in 1973, Rice transformed a short story, "Interview With The Vampire", into her first novel, which was published in 1976. She has published more than twenty novels (including titles under the pen names A.N. Roquelaure and Anne Rampling), almost all of which have been bestsellers. Her credits include The Vampire Lestat, Exit to Eden, The Mummy and Violin.
In Anne Rice's classic debut novel, Interview With The Vampire, the 200 hundred year-old Louis Pointe du Lac tells how he became a vampire. After a devastating personal loss, Louis sought solace first in alcohol, then in the charismatic vampire Lestat's offer to join the "undead". But the "dark gift" of immortality does not free Louis from the grief and loneliness of living. While he has the power to satisfy his appetites, he cannot escape them, nor can he deny responsibility for his actions. A profound philosophical thriller, Interview With The Vampire transformed the Vampire of Bram Stoker's novel and Hollywood's movies into a myth for our age.
