The Vampire Chronicles Collection: Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, The Queen of the Damned

For more than three decades The Vampire Chronicles, and through them Anne Rice, have been a treasured, rich part of my life. I find myself enveloped in the history and almost velvety feel of the tales. You can feel the mosquitoes and thick humid air of New Orleans. She weaves incredible stories throughout history and the contrast and comparison of living in different times, looking at our present time with the weary eyes who have seen so much already. The perspective of now in comparison to all the other past lives never fails to enchant me. She is a wonderful author. I love to revisit the world she has woven, again and again.

I have owned these books since their original release dates, yet I have never been happier to buy them again. Anne Rice writes so eloquently. Each character owning their rich background and history to a point where you begin to question if vampires, at least THESE vampires might actually be real! If they were I know I would have searched the world to have met Mekare and Maharet, Armand, Gabrielle, Pandora, Louis, and of course Lestat. If I couldn't locate them, I would have joined a secret organization belonging to intellectuals that seek out the supernatural. (Know any?) Lol.

All I can say is, "Ann Rice, I don't know how YOU came up with The Vampire Chronicles, or EVEN thought up Magnus, Lestate, or even "Memnoch, The Devil" but "ANY" and "EVERY" TIME that I pick ANY of those books up, i can NOT for the LIFE of ME put it down until I ABSOLUTLY CAN NOT KEEP MY EYES OPEN. An I will tell "EVERYONE" that I can guarantee YOU that if you're intrigued, or even curious about the supernatural, or VAMPIRES I promise you will NOT be disappointed in the least. THANK YOU Ann Rice."
