Interview With the Vampire (The Vampire Chronicles #1) by Anne Rice

NOW A STUNNING WARNER BROS. FILM

In a darkened room a young man sits telling the macabre and eerie story of his life ... the story of a vampire, gifted with eternal life, cursed with an exquisite craving for human blood.

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE

It is more than a mere 'horror tale'. It is the account of a man gifted with immortality who has lived 200 years as a vampire. He recounts how he departed from human existence and became a vampire, but, reluctant to take human life, he sustained himself on the blood of animals.

As the years pass, however, he embraces the habits of the vampire - the detachment, the hardened will, the sensual search for others like himself, desperate to discover the ways of survival, more desperate to find out why he has become what he is.

At last he comes into intimacy with the whole decadent story of vampires - an intimacy which becomes terror as he is compelled to confront what he fears most.
