Here are the confessions of a vampire. Hypnotic, shocking, and chillingly erotic, this is a novel of mesmerizing beauty and astonishing force-a story of danger and flight, of love and loss, of suspense and resolution, and of the extraordinary power of the senses. It is a novel only Anne Rice could write. --back cover
Read this after watching the AMC show but before watching the movie. Any point Anne might've been trying to make about Claudia being a metaphor for a disabled person who looks visibly young is thrown violently out the window as Louis does not view Claudia as an adult at the same time that he views her as a sexual being and his bride. Armand walking off into the sea was the funniest shit I'd ever read, though.
Muchísimo mejor esta relectura décadas después, quizás porque ahora puedo entender mejor a un protagonista deprimido, desquiciado y con picos de ansiedad
I'd read this gem when it came out in paperback, and I was 12 years old. I loved it so much, I did an except of the interview as a skit in camp that summer.
