11 Facts About Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire
By april snellings | sep 20, 2021.

Forty-five years after its publication, Anne Rice’s 1976 novel Interview With the Vampire stands as one of the most influential bloodsucker tales ever published—second only, perhaps, to Bram Stoker ’s Dracula . Rice’s debut novel is almost single-handedly responsible for the image of vampires that dominates pop culture today: conflicted, brooding, and oozing sex appeal from every moonlit pore. There had been angsty, romantic vampires before, but even Barnabas Collins seemed like a relic from another time. Rice gave Nosferatu a modern makeover, imagining vampires as literal rock stars.
But the influence of Rice’s novel doesn’t stop at setting the stage for vampire yarns like The Lost Boys , Buffy the Vampire Slayer , and True Blood . LGBTQ+ readers embraced the book for its queer subtext (which just became, well, text in later series installments) and its depiction of vampires as outsiders feared by mainstream society. It also became a seminal work for the burgeoning goth subculture; Liisa Ladouceur, author of 2011’s Encyclopedia Gothica , calls Interview With the Vampire “a goth bible of sorts.” The novel kicked off a decades-spanning, 13-book series, inspired a hit film and multiple comic book adaptations, and established the template for a popular vampire trope .
With vampire fiction back on the rise and a new television adaptation in the works, here are 11 things you might not know about Interview With the Vampire .

1. Anne Rice wrote Interview With the Vampire to cope with grief.
In August 1972, the author and her husband lost their 5-year-old daughter, Michele, to a rare form of leukemia. The following year, Rice, who had recently completed a master’s degree in creative writing, quit her job to focus on writing. “I pitched myself into writing and made up a story about vampires,” Rice told The Independent in 2014. “I didn't know it at the time but it was all about my daughter, the loss of her and the need to go on living when faith is shattered.”
2. Interview With the Vampire was written in about five weeks.
Rice first explored the idea of a reporter interviewing a vampire with a short story called “Interview with the Vampire,” which she revised several times. After her daughter’s death, she pulled the story out again, and over the course of five weeks in 1973, expanded it into a full-length novel.
3. Interview With the Vampire was heavily influenced by the 1936 Universal horror film Dracula's Daughter ...
Rice saw Dracula's Daughter when she was a kid and was captivated by its portrayal of the title character as a tormented artist who longed to be human. “It established to me what vampires were—these elegant, tragic, sensitive people,” Rice said in a 2017 interview with The Daily Beast. “I was really just going with that feeling when writing Interview With the Vampire .”
4. … But Anne Rice was not a fan of Bram Stoker's Dracula .
In fact, she hadn’t even read Stoker’s seminal vampire novel when she wrote Interview With the Vampire .
5. The name of Interview With the Vampire ’s most famous character was the result of a misspelling.
When Rice named the character who would go on to star in the 1985 sequel The Vampire Lestat and headline the rest of the Vampire Chronicles series, she was misremembering a common Creole name. “I actually thought I was using an old Louisiana name,” Rice said in a 2014 interview at the Chicago Humanities Festival. “But I was misspelling it; the old name is ‘Lestan.’” It was several years before she realized her error.
6. After it was rejected by several publishers, Interview With the Vampire ’s fortunes changed at a writer's conference.
Rice submitted her novel to several agents and editors in 1973, but there were no takers. The following year, she attended a Squaw Valley writers conference where, according to The New York Times , staffers read her manuscript and got excited enough to talk it up to Knopf editor Victoria Wilson, who was also in attendance. Rice landed an agent at the conference, and that agent happened to be a friend of Wilson’s. Wilson loved the manuscript, and before the year was over, Knopf had picked up hardcover rights to Interview With the Vampire , paying Rice a reported $12,000 advance— considerably more than most debut novelists were being paid at the time, according to Rice.
7. Interview With the Vampire landed Anne Rice a stunning paperback rights deal.
Rice’s $12,000 advance was nothing compared to what lay in store for her in the months leading up to her novel’s publication. First, the Literary Guild mail-order book club paid $7500 to add the book to its selections; then, things got serious when Paramount optioned the film rights for $150,000. With paperback rights still on the table, other publishing houses were scrambling to find Xeroxed copies of the manuscript, and after several rounds of bidding, Ballantine scored paperback rights to Interview With the Vampire for a whopping $700,000 (the equivalent of more than $3 million in today’s market). For comparison, Stephen King ’s now-legendary paperback rights sale for Carrie netted him $400,000 just three years earlier.
8. Anne Rice undertook a substantive rewrite of Interview With the Vampire after she sold the manuscript.
According to Rice’s website , the book changed dramatically between the initial sale in 1974 and its publication in 1976. Her editor thought the novel “peter[ed] out” toward the end, and asked Rice to rework it—so Rice wrote an additional 200 pages. The entire sequence involving the Theatre of the Vampires was added during the rewrite, as was the return of Lestat; in the original version, the flamboyant vampire died in the fire set by his protégé, Louis. In what Rice describes as “a very amicable process,” she worked with her editor to whittle the manuscript down to the version that would eventually be published.
9. Anne Rice balked at the copy edits she received on Interview With the Vampire .
The publishing process is a notoriously lengthy one that involves several stages of editing, including substantive edits that address issues such as plot, character, and structure, as well as copy edits, which pertain to things like grammar and sentence structure. Rice was fine with the upper-level edits she received on Interview With the Vampire , including the aforementioned rewrite. But she took umbrage at the copy edits that would have, in her view, dramatically altered the book’s tone and style. In a process she has described as “harrowing,” Rice went through the extensive copy edits with an ink pen and “changed them all back.”
10. Contrary to popular belief, Anne Rice did not base Interview With the Vampire 's Lestat on Rutger Hauer.
In an oft-repeated bit of Interview With the Vampire lore, Rice supposedly named the Dutch actor as the inspiration for Lestat, who played a supporting role in Interview With the Vampire but has since become the star of the ongoing Vampire Chronicles series. But while Hauer certainly entered Rice’s mind during Interview With the Vampire ’s lengthy trek to the big screen, the character was not based on him. “I didn't encounter [Hauer] till after I'd written Interview With the Vampire in which Lestat sprang to life pretty much on his own,” Rice wrote in a 2015 Facebook post accompanied by a photo of the actor from the 1973 film Turkish Delight . “But this is surely how I see my beloved Brat Prince hero.”
11. Interview With the Vampire is being adapted again—this time for television.
Fans who were disappointed by Neil Jordan’s famously troubled 1994 film adaptation should take heart; Interview With the Vampire is being resurrected as a TV series that will hopefully kick off a flurry of new Anne Rice adaptations. AMC, which acquired the rights to 18 of Rice’s novels in 2020, has ordered eight episodes of an Interview With the Vampire TV series that will star Game of Thrones ’s Jacob Anderson as Louis and Australian actor Sam Reid as Lestat. According to the Hollywood Reporter , AMC plans to premiere the series in 2022 as an effort to “launch a franchise universe based on Rice’s novels.” The network is also developing a series based on Rice’s Lives of the Mayfair Witches trilogy.

Plot Summary
When the novel begins, Louis is talking to a reporter known as “the boy.” He wants to tell the story of his life, hoping that it will serve as a cautionary tale for anyone who might hear it. He tells the boy after his brother died of a tragic fall, a vampire named Lestat killed Louis and turned him into a vampire by feeding him blood from his own wrist. The two live together on Louis’s plantation, but he and Lestat have a complicated relationship. There are aspects of Louis’s vampiric life that fill him with awe, but the melancholy and passivity that were always there are amplified by immortality. He soon grows to resent Lestat. He does not view eternal life as a gift and worries that Lestat has no more answers about existential questions than he does.

A revolt by the suspicious enslaved people forces them to flee the plantation. They burn the property to hide any traces of their activities. Soon, Louis is thinking of separating from Lestat. To manipulate him into staying, Lestat changes a five-year-old girl, Claudia , into a vampire after her mother dies of the plague. Claudia proves to be a quick study, who loves to hunt and kill. However, she grows bitter as she ages, realizing that she will always have a child’s body. She and Lestat quickly tire of each other, and Claudia devises a plan to kill him with Louis’s help. She tricks him into drinking from a dead body and then slits his throat as the poison of the dead blood courses through him.
Louis and Claudia go to Europe to search for more vampires. In the oldest part of the continent, they find “primitive” vampires called “revenants,” who are little more than animated corpses with appetites. However, in Paris, they meet an old vampire named Armand , who leads a theater group in the Theatre des Vampires . He and Louis share an instant attraction, though Claudia despises Armand and his group of vampires immediately.
Lestat reaches Paris and tells Armand that Claudia tried to kill him, which is a cardinal sin among vampires. As punishment, Armand’s vampires lock Claudia and Madeleine—a doll maker who Louis turned into a vampire as a companion for Claudia—in an open-air room where the sun destroys them. In revenge, Louis locks all of the Theatre des Vampires in their coffins before burning down the theater and destroying them. Louis then travels the world with Armand, but they separate because of Louis’s apathy and aloofness in the aftermath of Claudia’s death.
At the end of the interview, the boy wants to become a vampire, and Louis feels that telling his story has been pointless. He attacks the interviewer but leaves him alive. At the novel’s conclusion, the boy is traveling to Lestat’s address in hopes of becoming immortal.

'Interview With the Vampire' Changing Louis' Race and Backstory Makes Sense
Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for Episodes 1-4 of Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire In AMC’s adaptation of Anne Rice ’s Interview With the Vampire , protagonist Louis de Pointe du Lac ( Jacob Anderson ) has a similar backstory to his original character, except for one significant change — he's now a Black man living in early 1900s New Orleans. This change markedly improves his character development, and in some ways softens the characterization of Lestat de Lioncourt ( Sam Reid ), who was initially introduced in the book series as a heartless and cruel vampire. In the books, Louis is the son of a plantation owner whose father dies. Louis has his mother and is fond of his brother, who is devoutly religious, as well as his sister. Some of these elements remain in the show as well, but because Louis is Black, life isn’t quite the same for the character.
Louis' Backstory Change Improves Upon Anne Rice's Book
In Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire , the death of Louis’ wealthy father means he becomes the head of the du Lac household, but unlike his book counterpart, it’s not like Louis can run the plantation — given the Jim Crow era, there was no such thing as a free man of color. To maintain his family’s standing, Louis goes into the unsavory business of running a brothel in the red-light district of Storyville, much to his mother’s ( Rae Dawn Chong ) disgust, of course. But it’s the one business venture Louis can enter and get customers, especially the rich and wealthy bureaucrats of New Orleans.
Louis doesn’t run this business just to be rich; he’s the only earning member of his family. His brother Paul ( Stephen Norfleet ) is mentally unwell, and too hung up on religion to run any business; his beloved sister Grace ( Kalyne Coleman ) is excited about her impending nuptials and in that era has little power, which is the same case for his mother. Louis is just trying to live his best life. By changing Louis’ race to a Black man, the story of Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire not only adds relevance to the modern age, but it removes the need for a slave-owner protagonist (as most plantation owners were) from the equation. In fact, the show’s writer/creator Rolin Jones has said he found it impossible to write a plantation owner’s story .
RELATED: ‘Interview With the Vampire’ Shows the Horror of Being a Child Vampire
Over the course of the first four episodes of the show, the writers demonstrate the tightrope that Louis has to walk to maintain his status. He's forced to endure racialized insults because his peers don’t mean to hurl these pejoratives at him; they just mistake Louis for Black men who are not of his status. Louis remains cowed in the presence of the white men despite their backhanded compliments but ingratiates himself to them because they run the town, and he wants to expand his business. Lestat observing this blatant racism also makes him a kinder character than he is in the book. Watching Louis lower himself because of the laws of the land drives Lestat up the wall, and it’s one of the reasons why Lestat is desperate to turn Louis into a vampire — so that Louis can be everything he is "without apology." And that’s the crux of why race-bending the character works so well; telling stories about people of color, especially Black characters, who could have made strides were it not for the racist laws they had to live through.
'Interview With the Vampire' Avoids Racist Tropes
The shift in Louis’ backstory also has a greater impact on the show. The book doesn’t have as much diversity, and The Vampire Chronicles series as a whole has very few Black characters, so the show is already more inclusive than the source material with a main character who is Black. Additionally, Louis is shown as a man of means in the show, which is a change from how Hollywood usually depicts Black characters in period settings. This change also makes Louis much more interesting without him being little more than a trope, while examining the race relations of the time. The story flows better in many ways because of this change as well. It’s not long before segregation laws start to threaten Louis’ business, and the same bureaucrats who played cards with him every night and offered to support Louis’ expansion plan try to fleece him out of his properties. This leads to Louis making a rash decision and killing Alderman Fenwick ( John DiMaggio ), a truly vile, racist man.
Louis’ choice to make a spectacle of Fenwick's body, however, backfires on him and his people. Black businesses and homes are attacked, and that’s how Claudia ( Bailey Bass ) enters the picture . In the books, Louis’ bloodlust led to him nearly killing Claudia — in the show, it is Louis’ actions that orphan Claudia and leave her at death’s door, but he isn’t directly responsible: the racists are. We feel the injustice of what happened and understand why Louis is desperate to save this child. He asks Lestat to turn Claudia into a vampire, and we consequently get another arresting Black character on the show. It's yet another change to Louis’ backstory that makes him a more likable character.
'Interview With the Vampire' Gives Louis More Agency
Another aspect that the show explores is Louis and Lestat’s queerness. Their dynamic is very much in the subtext in the first book but becomes more obvious later in the series. Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire doesn’t shy away from showing the romantic tension between the main duo. Louis is a Black queer man in a homophobic era, governed by religious doctrine; he has to wrestle with not only his feelings for Lestat, but also briefly his old flame Jonah ( Thomas Antony Olajide ) as well as Lestat’s sexual fluidity. Black gay men still find it hard to be accepted within the queer community, so this is an added layer of representation in the show. We must also note that New Orleans has a majority Black population, but popular media often leaves the community out in stories set in the city. Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire isn’t perfect , but that’s a welcome update to the setting.
All of this makes Louis a character with agency in Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire . In the first book, he is a victim of Lestat’s whims and little more, but the show's writers seem to be attempting to create a more layered character. It could also be that Louis is painting himself as someone with more power than he actually had. If Daniel Molloy’s ( Eric Bogosian ) previous recordings are anything to go by, Louis could be re-writing his own history. Then again, considering how often history erases or diminishes the contributions of people of color, perhaps Louis is simply taking back what’s his.
- Changing the race of Louis in Interview with the Vampire adds relevance to the modern age and removes the need for a slave-owner protagonist.
- The show portrays the challenges Louis faces in maintaining his status as a Black man in a racially divided society, showcasing the racism of the time.
- Louis' backstory as a man of means and his relationship with Lestat explores queerness and adds representation for Black queer characters in a period setting.

Vampires in "Dracula" by Bram Stoker and "Interview with the Vampire" by Anne Rice
A comparison of the different portraits, essay, 2020, 10 pages, grade: 1,3.
Abstract or Introduction
The paper shows the differences between the different portraits of vampires in Bram Stoker’s novel “Dracula” and Anne Rice’s “Interview with the Vampire”. The vampires today own seductive features since they are mainly very good-looking and irresistible. These are characteristics the ancient vampire in literature do not have. Bram Stoker’s Dracula laid the foundation for the vampire cult in 1897. In 1976 Anne Rice published her novel Interview with the Vampire. Her novels turned the image of vampire’s upside down because her vampires become good-looking and live with us, since her protagonists were not only monstrous creatures. They have feelings and thoughts and also human problems.
