Anne Rice has been wildly prolific in the decades since Interview with the Vampire, her 1976 debut novel, catapulted her to fame, but her first book is still her most intriguing. Subverting convention in many ways, notably by making the vampire in question fallibly human and by presenting his story in his own words, Rice’s tale also embraces the genre’s Gothic-erotic roots with relish. The result is one of the best vampire novels ever written.
