Interview with the Vampire is the first novel in Anne Rice’s renowned The Vampire Chronicles series. The book presents an account of Louis de Pointe du Lac, a vampire who recounts his life story to a reporter. Through Louis’s narrative, readers explore themes of immortality, moral ambiguity, and existential despair as he grapples with his vampiric existence and his relationships with other vampires, including the charismatic and malevolent Lestat. Rice’s richly atmospheric prose and deep psychological insight make this novel a cornerstone of modern vampire fiction, blending gothic horror with philosophical reflection.
