1976’s Interview With the Vampire is the first volume of at least thirteen more books in Anne Rice’s gothic-horror Vampire Chronicles.
Armed with a tape-recorder and a stack of cassette tapes, the boy sits down with his subject, Louis. Louis is a vampire and the boy is eager to learn all the gory details.
In 1791 Louis was an unremarkable member of Louisiana’s slave-owning aristocracy. The death of his beloved brother sends Louis into a spiral of self-destructive debauchery. This, and the fact Louis owns the Pointe du Lac1 plantation, makes Louis of considerable interest to the vampire Lestat.
Louis is all too easily seduced into vampirism.
