Three early novels from The Vampire Chronicles

This collection brings together the first three Vampire Chronicles novels, linking distinct stories through the lives and history of the undead. Interview with the Vampire is framed as a vampire’s confessions; The Vampire Lestat follows Lestat from pre-revolutionary France into the 1980s as he seeks to understand his existence. In Queen of the Damned, the ancient queen Akasha awakens with a plan to “save” mankind. Across the set, the supernatural premise opens onto questions of identity, power, and the long reach of history, with settings ranging from France and ancient Egypt to Nepal and southern Florida.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in vampire fiction and supernatural horror.
  • Readers who want a collection spanning three connected novels in one volume.

Book overview

The hypnotic, deeply seductive novels of Anne Rice have captivated millions of fans around the world. It all began in 1976 with Interview with the Vampire. Now, in one chilling volume, here are the first three classic novels of The Vampire Chronicles.

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE
Witness the confessions of a vampire. A novel of mesmerizing beauty and astonishing force, it is a story of danger and flight, love and loss, suspense and resolution, and the extraordinary power of the senses.

"A magnificent, compulsively readable thriller . . . Anne 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


THE VAMPIRE LESTAT
Once an aristocrat from pre-revolutionary France, now a rock star in the decadent 1980s, Lestat rushes through the centuries seeking to fathom the mystery of his existence. His is a mesmerizing story-passionate and thrilling.

"Frightening, sensual . . . A psychological, mythological sojourn . . . Anne Rice will live on through the ages of literature. . . . To read her is to become giddy as if spinning through the mind of time."
--San Francisco Chronicle

QUEEN OF THE DAMNED
Akasha, the queen of the damned, has risen from a six-thousand-year sleep to let loose the powers of the night. She has a marvelously devious plan to "save" mankind-in this vivid novel of the erotic, electrifying world of the undead.

"With The Queen of the Damned, Anne Rice has created universes within universes, traveling back in time as far as ancient, pre-pyramidic Egypt and journeying from the frozen mountain peaks of Nepal to the crowded, sweating streets of southern Florida."
--Los Angeles Times
