Review by Paul Laquita
"A subnormal being that few know little about. As soon as the sun goes down it prey of the flesh of human blood..... This is the typical meaning for the vampire but that all changed with Anne Rice's debut Novel: Interview With the Vampire. Daniel is your common american guy of course but he gets the eminent chance of a lifetime. He gets to interview a olden vampire the sweet but powerful Armand. Throughout the interview he talks the evolving of the vampire. Armand later relates this to his own life before he met the "brat prince" we all became to know and love Lestat. Becoming a vampire to him was the most morbid thing that happened to him. Interview with the vampire is a must read for any beginner seeking get into vampire lore."
