Interview with the Vampire

A dramatic story of a vampire recounting his life on this side and the other side of existence, — French colonies in Louisiana, Paris in the 19th century, a remote village in the Carpathians… Inhabitants of the world of darkness,... this embodied evil, — can they, like humans, suffer and rejoice, love and grieve from losses, is there still a remnant of humanity left in their hearts?..
 
Written literally in a month and a half in memory of his six-year-old daughter who died of leukemia, the novel "Interview with the Vampire" has long transcended the narrow framework of the genre and has become a world classic on par with Bram Stoker's "Dracula". Its release in 1973 anticipated the famous "Twilight" series by Stephenie Meyer, and the 1994 film starring Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Antonio Banderas brought even greater popularity to the book.
 
The total circulation of the novel has now exceeded a record-breaking 15 million copies, making it one of the best-selling books by modern authors in the history of book trade.
