It’s Throwback Thursday! Forty-five years ago this month, Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire was first published.

The spellbinding classic that started it all from the #1 New York Times bestselling author. Here are the confessions of a vampire. Hypnotic, shocking, and chillingly sensual, this is a novel of mesmerizing beauty and astonishing force—a story of danger and flight, of love and loss, of suspense and resolution, and of the extraordinary power of the senses. It is a novel only Anne Rice could write.
