From #1 New York Times bestselling author Anne Rice, this sensuously written spellbinding classic remains 'the most successful vampire story since Bram Stoker's Dracula' (The Times).
In a darkened room a young man sits telling the macabre and eerie story of his life - the story of a vampire, gifted with eternal life, cursed with an exquisite craving for human blood.
When Interview with the Vampire was published the Washington Post said it was a 'thrilling, strikingly original work of the imagination . . . sometimes horrible, sometimes beautiful, always unforgettable'.
Now, more than forty years since its release, Anne Rice's masterpiece is more beloved than ever.
Shortlisted for the 2017 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement

2017. One night in 1980, a man becomes a monster. Travis Stillwell
spends his nights searching out women in honky-tonk bars on the
back roads of Texas. What he does with them doesn't make him proud:
it just quiets the demons for a little while. But when he crosses
paths with one particular mysterious pale-skinned girl, he wakes up
weak and bloodied, with no memory of the night before. Finding
refuge at a small motel, Travis develops feelings for the owner,
Annabelle, but at night he fights a horrible transformation and his
need to feed. Half a state away, a grizzled Texas Ranger is hunting
Travis for his past misdeeds, but what he finds will lead him to a
revelation far more monstrous. A man of the law, he'll have to
decide how far into the darkness he'll go for the sake of justice.

WHEN THE VOICES CALL, DON'T ANSWER...
In the wake of his parents' tragic deaths fourteen-year-old Richard
Elauved has been sent to live with his aunt and uncle in the remote
town of Ballantyne.
Richard quickly earns a reputation as an outcast, and when a classmate
named Tom goes missing, no one believes him when he says the telephone
booth out by the edge of the woods sucked Tom into the receiver like
something out of a horror movie.
No one, that is, except the enigmatic Karen, who encourages Richard to
pursue clues the police refuse to investigate. He traces the number to
an abandoned house in the woods. There he catches a glimpse of a
terrifying face in the window. And then the voices start.
When another classmate disappears, Richard grapples with the dark magic
that's possessing Ballantyne to try and find them before it’s too
late...
