Join us to discuss “Interview with the Vampire” by Anne Rice. This classic gothic horror novel was published in 1976 and launched the internationally best-selling series “The Vampire Chronicles.”

Book synopsis:

Here are the confessions of a vampire. Based on a short story Rice wrote around 1968, the novel centers on vampire Louis de Pointe du Lac, who tells the story of his life to a reporter. Hypnotic, shocking, and chillingly erotic, 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.
