This was really engaging writing, but it was so creepy! I am glad I know Jesus, and He protects me from all evil. (I don't believe there are vampires, but I do believe there is evil in the world!)
I also kept thinking how any parent could allow their 11 year old child to even ACT in such a creepy movie. I would really like to know how Kristen Dunst feels about all of that now. Ewww! (But I don't think I could ever watch the movie to find out how it played out on screen!)
Here is why James Mustich thinks it should be one of the 1000 Books You Read Before You Die:
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.
