Her first novel, Interview with the Vampire, was published in 1976 and has gone on to become one of the best-selling novels of all time. She continued her saga of the Vampire Lestat in a series of books, collectively known as The Vampire Chronicles, which have had both great mainstream and cult followings.

Interview with the Vampire was made into a motion picture in 1994, starring Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Kirsten Dunst and Antonio Banderas. Anne's novel, Feast of All Saints about the free people of color of ante-bellum New Orleans became a Showtime mini series in 2001.

I read these three books after reading The Vampire Chronicles. Never has a writer captured me so much as Rice with her tale of the Mayfairs. A must for readers everywhere. Not just horror enthusiast or Rice readers, this tale is great for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly, some of Anne Rice's most DESCRIBTIVE work..., June 16, 1998

This review is from: Mayfair Witches (Hardcover)

These novels take you, grip you tightly, and refuse to release you until the last page is turned. Then, they leave you wishing that you were a Mayfair or wanting to get away from anything Mayfair. Anne Rice is to be commended for her descriptive ability--- she leaves me breathless...

If your a Big Anne Rice fan like I am, then you should definately read these books! Anne goes so deep into the lives of this family of whiches that you allmost begin to feel as if you were one of them. And Anne's books are never creepy or full of spells or any of that, her books tell what it might be like in her mind to be one of them and to go through their every day routines as we do.
