Interview With the Vampire
.
Today, vampires abound. In 1976, this book brought the vampire to the 20th-century. Interview With the Vampire is a beautiful work that explores the legend of the vampire. It is centered on the stories of four very different but equally compelling vampires. The story is interesting and original and the attention to detail is rich and poetic. Rice explores the nature of evil, the reality of death, and the limits of human perception. This is a book where the story and characters stay with you, along with the questions.
I think it’s a shame that she’s given up writing them! She certainly created a world that hooked you in!
