About This Book
After the spectacular debut of Interview with the Vampire in 1976, Anne
Rice put aside her vampires to explore other literary interests--Italian
castrati in Cry to Heaven and the Free People of Color in The Feast of
All Saints. But Lestat, the mischievous creator of Louis in Interview,
finally emerged to tell his own story in the 1985 sequel, The Vampire
Lestat.
As with the first book in the series, the novel begins with a frame
narrative. After over a half century underground, Lestat awakens in the
1980s to the cacophony of electronic sounds and images that
characterizes the MTV generation. Particularly, he is captivated by a
fledgling rock band named Satan's Night Out. Determined both to achieve
international fame and end the centuries of self-imposed vampire
silence, Lestat takes command of the band (now renamed "The Vampire
Lestat") and pens his own autobiography. The remainder of the novel
purports to be that autobiography: the vampire traces his mortal youth
as the son of a marquis in pre-Revolutionary France, his initiation into
vampirism at the hands of Magnus, and his quest for the ultimate origins
of his undead species.
While very different from the first novel in the Vampire Chronicles, The
Vampire Lestat has proved to be the foundation for a broader range of
narratives than is possible from Louis's brooding, passive perspective.
The character of Lestat is one of Rice's most complex and popular
literary alter egos, and his Faustian strivings have a mythopoeic
resonance that links the novel to a grand tradition of spiritual and
supernatural fiction. --Patrick O'Kelley
