Louisiana, 1791.

Grief-stricken after his beloved brother’s death and burdened by his family’s suspicions, Louis believed he was nearing the end of his own life, until the vampire Lestat appeared at his doorstep. And that was only the beginning...

Turned into a vampire against his will, Louis is torn between his new bloodthirsty nature and a desperate desire to hold onto his humanity. Trapped in an immortal life he never asked for, he finds a glimmer of hope in Claudia, a mysterious young girl turned vampire. But once again, it becomes clear that this is only the beginning...

Darkly enchanting, haunting, and unexpected, Interview with the Vampire is a tale of danger and escape, of love and loss, cruelty and tragedy. - Goodreads
