The Vampire Lestat

Front Cover
Sphere, 2008 - Fiction - 552 pages
Ah, the taste and feel of blood when all passion and greed is sharpened in that one desire!' Lestat: a vampire but very much not the conventional undead, for Lestat is the truly alive. Lestat is vivid, ecstatic, stagestruck, and in his extravagant story he plunges from the lasciviousness of eighteenth-century Paris to the demonic Egypt of prehistory; from fin-de-siecle New Orleans to the frenetic twentieth-century world of rock superstardom as, pursued by the living and the dead, he searches across time for the secret of his own dark immortality.
