About this ebook
“With The Queen of the Damned, Anne Rice has created universes within universes, traveling back in time as far as ancient, pre-pyramidic Egypt and journeying from the frozen mountain peaks of Nepal to the crowded, sweating streets of southern Florida.”—Los Angeles Times
In a feat of virtuoso storytelling, Anne Rice unleashes Akasha, the queen of the damned, who has risen from a six-thousand-year sleep to let loose the powers of the night. Akasha has a marvelously devious plan to “save” mankind and destroy the vampire Lestat—in this extraordinarily sensual novel of the complex, erotic, electrifying world of the undead.
Praise for The Queen of the Damned
“Mesmerizing . . . a wonderful web of dark-side mythology.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“Imaginative . . . intelligently written . . . This is popular fiction of the highest order.”—USA Today
“A tour de force.”—The Boston Globe

All you can ask for and more. Through the eyes of Anne Rice the mythos of the vampire seem clear. A remarkable story. Don't miss this. Hands down some of the best writing ever.

Anne rice is my favorite author and this book was awesome I just don’t get why they got a African American female to play to the role of akasha when she is whiter than white can be in the book so I have to agree the book is better than the movie, but what book isn’t better than the movie, as a true author/ book reader myself I truly believe that

Still, after 20 years, one of my favorite books of all time. A great read regardless of your age or anything else.
