K's Book Review

SPOILER ALERT! Interview with the Vampire A young man is interviewing a man he met on the street. The man tells him he is a vampire. The boy is like, “K,” but when he runs quickly across the room into the light the boy can see for sure that he isn’t lying. He assures him that he is safe and begins to tell his story. It starts back when he was younger just over 200 years ago. His brother was deeply religious to the point where he claimed to have visions sent to him from God.

"My beloved Louis." - Some random page that I can't find because I read the ebook version... The Vampire Lestat was a hilarious and thoughtful sequel to Interview with the Vampire.
