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.
