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.”—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.

    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.
