About the book
Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles follows Lestat de Lioncourt, a French aristocrat who becomes a vampire in the eighteenth century. The opening novel is framed as a confession: Louis de Pointe du Lac recounts to a young reporter how Lestat turned him in New Orleans, and how the two of them took in a child vampire named Claudia. Later volumes widen the scope, tracing Lestat's origins, his reappearance in the modern world as a rock star, and the ancient immortals he meets. Rice describes her vampires as a metaphor for lost souls.
