Anne Rice, Interview With the VampireRead about the other entries on the list at CrimeReads.
This book follows Louis the vampire narrating the story of his long life to a young journalist. For me, after Bram Stoker’s Dracula, thiswas the quintessential vampire novel (at least until Stephen Graham Jones’s The Buffalo Hunter Hunter came along). The descriptions alone, from Louisiana to Europe, are rich and engaging, but these vampires? They’re actually terrifying.
Interview With The Vampire is among Drew Broussard's twelve modern classic horror books, Mark Skinner's top ten vampire books, Craig DiLouie’s top ten fantasy books steeped in the Southern Gothic, Tara Sonin's five sexy novels to unleash your wanderlust, Jeff Somers's eight good, bad, and weird dad/child pairs in science fiction and fantasy, Jonathan Hatfull's ten best vampire novels, Ryan Menezes' top five movies that improved the book, Will Hill's top ten vampires in fiction and popular culture, and Lynda Resnick's six best books.
