The Vampire Lestat

**#1* New York Times* Bestselling author – Surrender to fiction’s greatest creature of the night – Book II of the Vampire Chronicles **The vampire hero of Anne Rice’s enthralling novel is a creature of the darkest and richest imagination. Once an aristocrat in the heady days of pre-revolutionary France, now a rock star in the demonic, shimmering 1980s, he rushes through the centuries in search of others like him, seeking answers to the mystery of his eternal, terrifying exsitence. His is a mesmerizing story—passionate, complex, and thrilling. **Praise for *The Vampire Lestat*** “Frightening, sensual . . . 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, to become lightheaded as if our blood is slowly being drained away.” * **—** San Francisco Chronicle* “Fiercely ambitious, nothing less than a complete unnatural history of vampires.” * **—* *The Village*** *Voice* ** “Brilliant . . . its undead characters are utterly alive.” *—The New York Times Book Review* ** “Luxuriantly created and richly told.” *—The Cleveland Plain Dealer*
