AMC's The Vampire Lestat - coming in 2026

Since first reading Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles in the 80s I've been influenced by her writing and her characters. Not just the vampires, but characters from her novels A Feast of All Saints and Cry to Heaven. She wrote about controversial subjects with grace and humanity.

The Vampire Lestat stands out as a novel that took great risks and that was profoundly different in tone from her first and most famous work, Interview with the Vampire. In it, she tells the story of Lestat, a vampire who embraces his nature and lives his un-life to the absolute fullest. I'm so very excited to see what AMC does with this novel!
