 “I AM TELLING YOU I AM A VAMPIRE!” I screamed suddenly. 
Ecstasy, delirium. 
“I AM EVIL! EVIL!” 
“Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, YES, YES, YES.” 

I don’t know. What do you think storygraph user thevampirelestat thought about Anne Rice’s 1985 THE VAMPIRE LESTAT?

I am a superfan of the 2022 TV adaptation of IWTV but this is the first book I picked up in the series and I literally scarfed this shit down voraciously. Like I loved it saur much. Cannot wait to read QOTD. I really was not expecting to love this book as much as I did but it was so fun. My most fun read in quite awhile. Great prose, lestat as a narrator is so delightful; I love that he is anne rice's special snowflake, i love that everyone is just inexorably drawn to him, it's so unserious and funny to me. But in my humble opinion  the star of the show in this book is armand who i appreciate so much more here than in the show. Lots of interesting psychologies, this book does So Much with the topic of immortality that i think any writer interested in even exploring it could learn from, so many interesting perspectives and deeply perturbed psychologies in here. I love you Gabrielle. I love so much about this book. I could say so much but I need to sleep now. Bye
