ITF Read: Interview with the Vampire (1976 novel)

Anne Rice has defined vampire fiction for a generation, but it
all began with her debut novel where Louis de Pointe du Lac tells
the story of his 200 year life to a mortal interviewer with a
tape recorder. In episode 163, Luke & James visit the dark
and fantastic world of a New Orleans long past.

Topics: Anne Rice’s legacy in genre fiction, the potential value
of her style of prose, the vampire sex question, a tragic
personal connection between the author and Claudia, what makes
evil characters appealing, a theory on why editors may have
initially passed on the eventual bestseller, and some solid
writing advice.
