The Vampire Companion: The Official Guide to Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles

Read: Aug-Oct 2023

This is an incredibly well-researched labour of love from Katherine Ramsland that covers the first four books of The Vampire Chronicles. Ramsland had the co-operation of Anne Rice to write this mammoth encyclopaedia for all things related to the the world of The Vampire Chronicles, and it shows in the amount of information she is able to present in this companion guide.

I know there is a similar companion guide for the Mayfair Witches series, also written by Katherine Ramsland, and I am looking forward to getting hold of a copy of that one day too.

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.

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.
