Interview with the Vampire - Anne Rice Reviews

I actually read this book after reading the rest of the vampire chronicles because a friend of mine told me that the film was pretty much the same as the book.

It wasn't that it was ...  Read the complete review

I am a walking cliche. I am *one of those* Whenever I have a *favorite book list* to fill in, *interview with the vampire* is always in my top ten.

"Interview with the vampire" inspired not only an excellent film, but also Sting's song "Moon over Bourbon street" and changed the face of vampire fiction. It is a strange blend of horror, angst and guilt - a very Catholic nightmare, and one that was very personal for the author. "Interview" is the first in a long ...  Read the complete review
