The best stories on vampires that have ever existed or could ever exist. Lestat is an amazing villainous character and Louis is a stunning protagonist. Starting in rural Louisiana, Louis lived on a farm with his family. Lestat turns him into a vampire, and they travel and live together, partners in immortality, though they are soon joined by a little girl, Claudia. I don't want to spoil the action or adventure that takes place in the novel, but really it is worthwhile to read. Rice has amazingly gorgeous descriptive language about everything, especially time.

The three books in this volume are all AMAZING, and I'm proud to say that they are some of, if not my favorite books. They have so much substance to them, so much complexity and emotion. I haven't felt nearly as emotional while reading a book as I did while reading these. The characters dig into your heart and stay there forever.
Out of the three, I might say I liked "Queen of the Damned" the best, but only because there were just so many happy reunions and I loved how it ended, with all the vampires living together as a coven on Armand's night island. (Why, oh why couldn't it stop there?) I liked "The Vampire Lestat" too, a close second. "Interview with the Vampire" was just as good, but Lestat is a much more fun narrator. Lestat and Louis have got to be my favorite characters of all time. Oh, I just love them both so much, I could go on forever! Their relationship is so tragically adorable.
This is a superb trilogy, with a solid ending. I laughed and I cried. They made me think and I found inspiration in them. I will forever treasure them! ( )
