In a new feat of hypnotic storytelling, Anne Rice continues the
extraordinary Vampire Chronicles that began with the now classic
"Interview with the Vampire" and continued with "The Vampire Lestat" and
"The Queen of the Damned." Lestat speaks. Vampire-hero, enchanter,
seducer of mortals. For centuries he has been a courted prince in the
dark and flourishing universe of the living dead. Lestat is alone. And
suddenly all his vampire rationale - everything he has come to believe
and feel safe with - is called into question. In his overwhelming need
to destroy his doubts and his loneliness, Lestat embarks on the most
dangerous enterprise he has undertaken in all the danger-haunted years
of his long existence. "The Tale of the Body Thief" is told with the
unique - the mesmerizing - passion, power, color, and invention that
distinguish the novels of Anne Rice.
