Description

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.â€â€”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.

    This book takes you on a ride that you never want to get off. The journey is well-worth the time.

    I really enjoyed the read. The greatest asset I think of this book is its fluidity. It has smooth continuity. The characters I enjoyed, especially the main Louis, whom to me was as noble as anyone could be in that sinful position, and Claudia, whom I found to be such an artful addition to the story. There wasn’t any annoying character which is rare for books in my opinion (lol). The author does a great job at unaffectedly developing the relationships, where you become invested in them. And I thought the ending very clever. Cool book!

    A treasure of a classic vampire story!

  • Bloated, 380 pages should have been less than 100.

    It's possible for a book to not be descriptive enough. Then there is this whale of a tale: paragraphs upon paragraphs of describing honeysuckle and kudzu and cobblestones. Enough already! This is a dull book about walking through courtyards, gardens, going to theaters, riding in carriages...oh...and vampires are stuck somewhere in it. Simply put, reading this was like trudging through a thick Louisiana swamp.

  • The seminal vampire novel of our time

    Cannot believe some just compared this book to twilight, what a joke. It's nothing like that teeny bopper garbage. This book is a classic that transcends the genre. A great read, by a then great author.

  • All Time Favorite!

    I first read this when I was 12. I have read it at least once a year ever since. Love it.

    I couldn't put it down- it's enthralling, symbolic, subtly erotic, gentle and surprising at the same time. A book you'll want to read over and over again, because it's defidently worth it.
