Grew up reading these books! My favorites were The Queen of the Damned and Tales of the Body Thief. The Vampire Lestat was a snore fest.

Interview with the Vampire⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Vampire Lestat⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Queen of the Damned⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Vampire Chronicles Collection by Anne Rice includes the first three novels in the series.
Interview with the Vampire, Vampire Lestat, Queen of the Damned .
The trilogy of novels are beautifully written and explicitly queer. Sensual and intensely erotic, this series reads like a study on the senses. If you love Vampire and lgbtqaa+ fiction these novels would be perfect for you.
The Interview with the Vampire is a beautifully written novel that dives into the realm of the senses. Interview With the Vampire is
Sensual, erotic, thought-provoking, and mesmerizing. It makes sense why this novel, as well as its two sequels in this collection, is considered a classic. The novel is explicitly queer and filled with diversity.
The Vampire Lestat is a incredible
sequel/prequel he artfully displays Ann Rices writing capabilities and incredible world building. The Vampire Lestat details the origin of the queer icon himself from list French revolution to 1980's US.
The Queen of the Damned is a epic conclusion to the original Vampire Chronicles trilogy Detailing the original of Akasha, The Queen of the Damned, and her rise to Godhood in the 1980s, this novel is a thought-provoking joyride from start to finish
It makes since why Anne Rice was a hero for so many, she was fearlessness to be herself and have minorities represented in all their awsomeness..

At last I have finished!
These three books took a lot longer to finish than I thought they would.
I was originally drawn in because I love the Interview with the Vampire film and had a few people rave about the books. Maybe it was over hyped so my expectation were too high.
I struggled to rate this chronicle collection because some parts I enjoyed and others I absolutely hated and almost gave up on reading.
All three books are tedious to read and slow to progress, with sections that added -what I believe-nothing to the story. Constant run on sentences, sentences that went on for entire paragraphs, and parts that sounded like Yoda had written it! Maybe it’s just not my preferred style of writing as other people seem to enjoy it.
As it was the last one I read I’ll talk about Queen of the Damned. Definitely my least favourite. I felt it was a whole bunch of nothing until the very end where it tried to fit in what could have been an entire other book. So many repetitions of information that were completely unnecessary, only adding to the tediousness of the story, I think we understand Khayman was the royal steward you don’t need to tell us 50 times in the chapter. The whole Baby Jenks chapter? I can’t even describe how much I hated that, I was so so close to giving up on reading it but I’ve only ever given up on a book once and that was when I was 12.
There were points where the writing just got lazy. “The eyes were really brown.” Wow great description. “She like to flew up the stairs.” That doesn’t even make sense!
I guess from the rave reviews this series has some people that really enjoyed them. I suppose they just weren’t my type of books
