Lestat really thought having a child could fix his failing marriage

"Lestat was being a perfect idiot" pretty much sums it up

Lestat really baby trapped this poor guy 😭😭

I came here because I was missing her. So sad she's gone. At least we all have her marvelous stories. Such a legend.

I'm so happy this exists. But every time the reader pronounces the "s" in Louis... aaahhgggg! Lol

Frank Mueller is an audiobook god. Very tragic how he died after being in a coma from his motorcycle accident, but it was also amazing of Stephen King to donate all the proceeds from his Dark Tower series, which Frank read until the accident, to his late wife and baby.

I HEARD YOUR HEARTS DANCING!!😢😢

Anne Rice just passed away. RIP. I read this book when it came out. I have never forgotten it. Superb!

Dude, Lastate has no manners. You can't take him anywhere without him causing some f*cking trouble.

This narrator is absolutely brilliant... he holds the listener perfectly intrigued..... absolute brilliance.... regardless of the Lewis not Louis fiasco!

"Stop looking at my buttons!"
I loved this movie as a kid, now as a grown adult, I realize this is the story of an abusive relationship with a narcissist. Practically goes down a checklist! And narcissists are figurative vampires. I wonder how many Lestats we've all dated

It's amazing just how different the book is from the film. All of the internal feelings that Louis never vocalized in the movie. I feel like I'm getting to know him so much better than I ever could from the movie. So much more personal and intimate. I love it.

I've only recently begun reading Anne Rice's work.
On one of my regular walks through my neighborhood, I stopped at a free library (one of those "take a book, leave a book" boxes) and it was absolutely full of Anne Rice novels. I've fallen so in love with her writing and have watched several interviews. It was such sad news to hear of her loss just as I felt I was getting to know her.
She was truly a legend and will live on through her writings. 🖤🧛

RIP Anne Rice. :'( I'm revisiting Interview now. She is such an amazing author and inspiration.

I absolutely grieve over the fact that Frank Muller will never narrate this series past Book 4. He was incredible! I just love the way he pronounced his words and the way he sometimes trailed off after certain words. So poetic and enchanting. He is the voice of Lestat, in my opinion (those that have listened to the next 3 books probably understand).

When you find this as an audiobook, it's a gift. If it's the version which has this narrator, to me, it's the best gift ever.

Thanks for this. I love the Vampire Chronicles. I've read them repeatedly but now that my eye sight is failing I cannot read them anymore. So I'm very grateful. I'm glad that you have included close caption. 😊

I will always think of Lestat's laugh as the one from the movie that Tom Cruise did. The scene when Louis (Brad Pitt) threw him against the tree in rage after killing the old rich lady's poodles.
Soo metallic, lilting and gay sounding, but totally devoid of merriment and true feeling. Filled instead with complete disdain and disgust towards Louis' futile attempts to maintain a semblance of his human soul by refusing to take human life.
