Interview with the Vampire
by Anne Rice
Our rating
Spice: barely any. Darkness: very dark.
Louis tells a reporter how Lestat made him a vampire in 1791 New Orleans, and how they turned a dying five-year-old into a daughter. Lush, mournful and very homoerotic for 1976. Louis whines a lot, and Claudia is the real horror.
