Praise for The Vampire Lestat
Frightening, sensual… Anne Rice will live on through the ages of literature… . To read her is to become giddy as if spinning through the mind of time, to become lightheaded as if our blood is slowly being drained away.
- San Francisco Chronicle
Fiercely ambitious, nothing less than a complete unnatural history of vampires.
- The VillageVoice
Brilliant… its undead characters are utterly alive.
- The New York Times Book Review
Luxuriantly created and richly told.
