"Ah, the taste and feel of blood when all passion and greed is sharpened in that one desire!"

The Vampire Lestat introduces us to Lestat, a vampire who is anything but the conventional undead. Lestat is truly alive, vivid, ecstatic, and stagestruck. In his extravagant tale, he plunges from the lasciviousness of eighteenth-century Paris to the demonic Egypt of prehistory; from the fin-de-siècle New Orleans to the frenetic twentieth-century world of rock superstardom.

Pursued by both the living and the dead, Lestat embarks on an epic quest across time. His journey is driven by a relentless search for the secret of his own dark immortality.
