Celebrate the spellbinding classic that launched Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles series with New York Times bestselling authors Christopher Rice and Eric Shaw Quinn, co-stewards of Ann Rice’s literary estate. The story begins when Louis, the disaffected and reluctant heir to a Louisiana plantation, is turned into a vampire by Lestat. Radiant, petulant, and powerful, Lestat becomes Louis’ companion and urges him to embrace vampirism: the detachment, the hardened will, the “superior” sensual pleasures. As Louis struggles to retain the last residue of human feeling within him, he discovers he must commit the ultimate act: to break away from his creator and discover the new world to which he belongs – whatever the cost. Joining them to discuss the novel’s impact is Carissa Broadbent, author of The Serpent & the Wings of Night: Deluxe Limited Edition.
