The Vampire Chronicles

For the Theatres des Vampires album, see The Vampire Chronicles.The Vampire Chronicles is a series of novels by Anne Rice that revolves around the fictional character Lestat de Lioncourt, a French nobleman made into a vampire in the 18th century.The chronicles have gained a large fanbase since the publication of the first volume in the 1970s. The first five books, which feature Lestat prominently, are especially popular; the later books have been criticized as having lost some of the sparkle and vitality of the earlier works. Most of the books are in first-person persepective (in particular, those 'written' by Lestat), with only a few being in third-person.  Interview With the Vampire was made into a 1994 film starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, while portions of The Vampire Lestat and Queen of The Damned both were used for the 2002 film Queen of the Damned, starring Stuart Townsend and Aaliyah.
