#1 New York Times Bestselling author - The spellbinding classic that started it all - Book I of the Vampire Chronicles Here are the confessions of a vampire. 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. It is a novel only Anne Rice could write. Praise for Interview with the Vampire ``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 ``Unrelentingly erotic . . . sometimes beautiful, and always unforgettable.``-- Washington Post ``If you surrender and go with her . . . you have surrendered to enchantment, as in a voluptuous dream.``-- Boston Globe ``A chilling, thought-provoking tale, beautifully frightening, sensuous, and utterly unnerving.`` -- Hartford Courant
