The spellbinding classic that started it all, from the #1 New York
Times bestselling author--the inspiration for the hit television
series****
"A magnificent, compulsively readable thriller . . . Rice begins where
Bram Stoker and the Hollywood versions leave off and penetrates directly
to the true fascination of the myth--the education of the
vampire."--Chicago Tribune
**
**Here are the confessions of a vampire. Hypnotic, shocking, and
chillingly sensual, 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.
