Honestly, the original Interview With the Vampire novel isn't terrible. It's nothing profound, but it isn't terrible. This sequel, however, god-awful. I gave up after about four chapters.
Was this the second? The vampire least? I remember liking it, but I was fourteen.
Yes, The Vampire Lestat. It was popular when I was in high school too, but I didn't read it until my 20s and that little added pencil preface is incredibly accurate.
The novel starts with him being awakened from his vampiric slumber by hearing rock music and he joins a band. I wish I was making that up. Thankfully it then went into a flashback, but it was still not worth continuing to read such nonsense.
I made it all the way to The Vampire Armand before I gave up. They just continuously got worse.
Yeah, I remember I enjoyed the movie well enough at the time. But it was before movies and TV shows got over-saturated with vampires.
And if I'm going to watch a 90's vampire movie it's going to be Coppola's Dracula movie because it was iconic in it's weirdness.
Ann Rice made a dynasty out of her Lestat books and honestly they're better than most serials in the genre, but yeah still pretty mid. Interview With a Vampire definitely is the best.
