Interview With The Vampire
By Anne Rice
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Anne Rice, this sensuously written spellbinding classic remains 'the most successful vampire story since Bram Stoker's Dracula' (The Times)
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.
When Interview with the Vampire was published, the Washington Post said it was a 'thrilling, strikingly original work of the imagination . . . sometimes horrible, sometimes beautiful, always unforgettable'. Now, more than forty years since its release, Anne Rice's masterpiece is more beloved than ever.

With folklore of European vampires in New Orleans, it must have been an obvious choice for Anne Rice, who grew up there, to set her gothic fiction novel An Interview With The Vampire.
The way she describes the city, the French quarter and nightlife, whilst set 200+ years ago, still rings true today. Many parallels run through this book alongside New Orleans and European history where by we see the family of vampires capitalising on many New Orleans tragedies, making it an excellent fantasy companion when you're travelling through Louisiana and learning their history."
