We have 'The Twilight Saga', the teenage vampire sensation, and we have the 'Sookie Stackhouse Novels', an addictively fun, genre-breaking, and much-more adult vampire series, but Anne Rice's 'Vampire Chronicles' will always be leader of the pack when it comes to the more epic tales of the undead. Starting with the classic 'Interview with the Vampire', Rice then explored the past of her favorite bloodsucker, Lestat, in Book 2. Now, in 'The Queen of the Damned', the 3rd book of the series, Anne Rice takes her readers into totally unprecedented territory, travelling eons in time and unknown miles in geography to tell the tale of the evil Akasha, progenitor of all vampires in history, while also expanding the story of Lestat himself and effectively introducing other supernatural beings into what was before a vampire-only world. This is an amazing novel full of interesting characters, themes, and set-ups, and the unique history of the vampires that Anne Rice has conjured is undeniably engaging, while also being very dark. If you've read the first two books in the series, do not torture yourself any longer...grab this book and be amazed and the universes (yes, plural) that Anne Rice has created for you.
