Interview With The Vampire

Author: Rice, Anne
There was Dracula. And then there was Brad Pitt… err… Louis – the main character in what is one of the founding books of the genre. Before you read this book, you need to keep in mind that it was published in 1976. At the time, it was ground breaking, but if you're a well-read fan of the paranormal romance genre, you'll find that it hasn't aged well. The language is old-timey-wimey and the vampires are infinitely creepier than the ones you'll find in the other series on this list. It's kind of like reading the Iliad. You should read it because it's a classic, but it's not a painless experience.This is also the first book where vampires – despite being evil – have motivations that can be understood. There are more books in the series and whether you find them an improvement on the first or not will depend on whether you enjoy Rice's writing style or not.What you will find fascinating is how deeply Rice delves into vampire psychology – she takes great pains to create backstories that explain their actions, however evil they may be.
