Queen of horrors!
Over the years, I have read all of Anne Rice's books. As I go through the series, I find that she dives deeper into the great divide. In the beginning, you have Lestat and Louis, but as you further your journey, Rice brings about other more interesting characters. I have often wondered what ever happened to Louis. He seemed to have disappeared after his brief visit in the Body Theif. As you go on, Memnoch messes with your brain because he is so difficult to understand. It took me almost a year to finally finish it. I kept on throwing it aside because it was a difficut read. I am one not to put a book down until I am finished with it. Anne's witch series created a whole new world. A world where witches are good. It goes the same with the vampire series. I felt like I wanted to be a vampire because of the way she portrayed the life of one. Overall, I am thrill to death with her writing, and is always looking forward to thatnew book. I have recently bought Armand, and can't wait to read it. Keep them coming Anne.

Move over Dracula!
Why are Anne Rice's vampires the best? Because she has created characters and stories that almost convince you that her vampires do indeed live amongst us mortals. She has breathed life into characters that have become bigger than the books she has written and are likely to become part of folk art and tale just like that other famous vampire. But when you read about Lestat and his many adventures, you'll be thinking "Count Who?" If you are into tales of vampires then this is a must read and of course I recommend getting the Complete Chronicles because once you read one, you'll want to read them all.

The reader should note however that this is not the completed chronicles, since Ms. Rice has written many other books that chronicle the lives of her beloved vampires. Among these books there is "Memnoch the Devil", which continues to chronicle the life of our favorite vampire Lestat and his adventure that takes him to heaven, hell and back to earth again. Anne Rice went on to write a series of books that chronicle the individual lives of some of her more notable vampire characters, such as the vampire Pandora in the book by the same name, Armand in "The Vampire Armand" and most recently the vampire Marius in "Blood and Gold". There is also the book "Merrick" which introduces a new character to the chronicles and sees the beginning of new adventures for our favorite vampires. She also wrote "Vittorio the Vampire" which although not officially part of the vampire chronicles, it is still a must for lovers of Ms. Rice's vampire stories. I recommend getting them all but then again, like I said before, when you read one, you'll want to read them all.

I look forward to the continuing expansion of The Vampire Chronicles and to the wonderful writing of Anne Rice.

Vampiristic? No, Rather...
These stories making up The Vampire Chronicles are not about vampires, really, as one might first perceive. The main characters, and really all of them, are vampires, yes, but there is a much, much deeper essence to the stories. These books are not about vampires, but about understanding of life, love, loss, and survival of mind. If you want to look at it like this, you could say that these stories are about regular human life, human strugle and human passion. The only differences are that the stories are dragged out over hundreds of years, and they contain the understandings of generations and generations, and feelings and understandings are magnified by thousands to attain the grove of vampire characteristics.
