carrionkid's review against another edition

5.0

Even before I read this book, it was extremely formative to me as my mom has been obsessed with Lestat since she was 14 and read this when it came out. That being said, it's a deeply visceral and emotional book, slow burning and tense. For all the author's flaws, this book remains an excellent piece of vampire fiction and definitely a touchstone of the lore as it currently exists.
