The Literary Guild has collected these modern classics into a single elegant volume-from our first mesmerizing “interview” with the seductively cruel Louis to our last breathtaking encounter with the ancient (and very testy) mother of all vampires, Akasha. In between we tag along as Lestat-Louis’s mentor in dark deeds-struts his stuff as a 1980s rock star. Transporting us from century to century, and from New Orleans to Paris and back, Rice’s vampire fiction is “unrelentingly erotic, sometimes beautiful, and always unforgettable,” says The Washington Post.
Ships promptly in a secure mailer with book wrapped in both craft paper and bubble wrap.
