I have this book and [a:Katherine Ramsland|24645|Katherine Ramsland|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1325198341p2/24645.jpg]'s [b:The Witches' Companion|43820|The Witches' Companion|Katherine Ramsland|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1320453768s/43820.jpg|114656] and enjoyed reading through both. They're good reference books, and contain interesting information even beyond what you read in the series' themselves. I actually did my high school literature research project on Anne Rice, and both Ramsland's books were great resources. Fans of the Vampire Chronicles will love this companion book. (

This is a concordance, or index, to the Anne Rice vampire novels as they existed at the time of publication. The rich, but complex and confusing, details and characters are all available here for the true afficianado to verify and cross-check to his or her heart's content. (

Everything you need to know about Anne Rice's vampire chronicles. And I mean everything. Amazing detail. A fascinating read. I learned things I never knew about the vampires that I love so much. (
