..after reading through Twilight, I thought of reading the "old school" vampires of anne rice...
the first and third book was turned into a movie - Interview with the Vampire and Queen of the Damned...
the main hero - Lestat de Lioncourt was displayed as a kind of villain in this book... but he is actually the real hero.. the book was told by Louis who lestat "turned" in the book....
if you read through the 2nd book.. you will know the real circumstances in the 1st book...
anne rice's vampires are the "old school" vampires -- scared of the sun, sleeps in coffins during the day, can feed on any human repeatedly without "turning" them, has skin like humans, can be killed by a wooden stick through the heart and of sunlight,
the most important observation is that anne rice's vampires are gays... hahahaha.. they love their fellow male vampires....
FYI... vampire chronicles book 5 is MEMNOCH the Devil.... anne rice wrote him as the DEVIL that tempted Christ and is now haunting lestat .. this is a very good read...i will write about this book next time..
i heard some news that book 4 - The Tale of the Body Thief will be made into a movie... i do hope they would...
