Book description
The previous volume of the Vampire Chronicles, Memnoch the Devil, was
called 'a modern Paradise Lost' by the Washington Post. Taking the
Vampire Lestat from fiction into legend, it left him lying in a New
Orleans convent, at the edge of death. Magnificent and electrifying,
this new volume in the Vampire Chronicles returns to the glittering
story of Armand, mesmerizing leader of the vampire coven at the
eighteenth-century Theatre des Vampires in Paris (seductively played by
Antonio Banderas in the film of Interview with the Vampire). Snatched
from the steppes of Russia as a child, and sold as a slave in
Renaissance Venice, Armand's story sweeps through several hundred years,
to New Orleans at the end of the twentieth century, where Lestat lies
waiting for immortality, and the legend continues to grow. . . . .
