Synopsis
A vampire named Louis tells his life story to a young reporter. While initial reviews of Anne Rice's INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE were unfavorable, it has nevertheless become a contemporary classic in neo-Gothic literature and a stalwart in the vampire literature canon.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: """I see..." said the vampire thoughtfully, and slowly he walked across the room towards the window.""
Industry Reviews
"...[I]t would have been a notable tour de force even if its characters had been human....Rice's most effective accomplishment, though, was to link up sex and fear again."
Voice Literary Supplement - Walter Kendrick
"Rice exploits all the sexual elements in [the vampire legend] with a firm self-consciousness of their meaning."
New York Times Book Review - Leo Braudy
"I got to the point where the vampire began describing his brother's death, and the whole thing just exploded! Suddenly, in the guise of Louis, a fantasy figure, I was able to touch the reality that was mine. It had something to do with growing up in New Orleans, this strange, decadent city full of antebellum houses. It had something to do with my old-guard Catholic background. It had something to do with the tragic loss of my daughter and with the death of my mother when I was fourteen. Through Louis' eyes, everything became accessible. But I didn't ask when I was writing what it meant; I only asked if it felt authentic. There was an intensity--an intensity that's still there when I write about those characters. As long as it is there, I will go on with them. In some way they are a perfect metaphor for me."
