Ah, the taste and feel of blood when all passion and greed is sharpened in that one desire!'
Lestat: a vampire - but very much not the conventional undead, for Lestat is the truly alive. Lestat is vivid, ecstatic, stagestruck, and in his extravagant story he plunges from the lasciviousness of eighteenth-century Paris to the demonic Egypt of prehistory; from fin-de-siecle New Orleans to the frenetic twentieth-century world of rock superstardom - as, pursued by the living and the dead, he searches across time for the secret of his own dark immortality.'Dizzying narrative flights . . . as brilliant as the first; it is funnier, wilder and more disturbing' - New York Times 'A rich and unforgettable tale of dazzling scenes and vivid personalities - Library Journal
Anne Rice is the author of the celebrated series of gothic novels featuring the vampire Lestat, and as Anne Rampling and A.N. Roquelaure she is one of the best contemporary writers of erotic fiction.
