   In een hotelkamer in San Francisco interviewt een journalist een bleke jongeman die beweert dat hij een vampier is. De man, Louis genaamd, vertelt hem een angstwekkend en gepassioneerd verhaal over schoonheid en het eeuwige leven. Zijn dood, en meteen zijn geboorte als onsterfelijke, zou hebben plaatsgevonden in New Orleans van de negentiende eeuw. Louis vertelt hoe Lestat, zijn mentor, hem alles leert over zijn nieuwe gaven; zijn zwakheden en de ongeschreven wetten van de vampiermaatschappij. Dan ontmoet hij een eenzaam, onschuldig meisje. Louis wil haar eerst geen pijn doen, maar voor menselijke emoties is hij dan al te ver heen. Zij wordt zijn eerste slachtoffer en hij wijdt haar in, zoals Lestat hem ooit heeft ingewijd. Maar de machtige Lestat is jaloers... Dagboek van een onsterfelijke is het eerste deel van de vampierkronieken van Anne Rice

    Lestat is back, saviour and demon, presiding over a gothic story of family greed and hatred through generations, a terrifying drama of blood lust and betrayal, possession and matricide. Blackwood Farm with its grand Southern mansion, set among dark cypress swamps in Louisiana, harbours terrible blood-stained secrets and family ghosts. Heir to them all is Quinn Blackwood, young, rash and beautiful, himself a 'bloodhunter' whom Lestat takes under his wing. But Quinn is in thrall not only to the past and his own appetites but, even more dangerously, to a companion spirit, a 'goblin' succubus who could destroy him and others. Only the unearthly power of Lestat combined with the earthly powers of the Mayfair clan could hope to save Quinn from himself and his ghosts, or to rescue the doomed girl Quinn loves from her own mortality. Shocking, savage and richly erotic, this novel with the deceptively gentle title bring us Anne Rice at her most powerfully disturbing. Here are vampires and witches, men and women, demons and a doppelganger, caught up in a maelstrom of death and destruction, blood and fire, cruelty and fate.

    *** NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER *** "In my dreams, I saw a city fall into the sea. I heard the cries of thousands. I saw flames that outshone the lamps of heaven. And all the world was shaken..." At the novel's centre: the vampire Lestat de Lioncourt, hero, leader, irresistible force, irrepressible spirit, battling (and ultimately reconciling with) a strange otherworldly form that has taken possession of his undead body and soul. This ancient and mysterious power and unearthly spirit of vampire lore has all the force, history and insidious reach of the unknowable Universe. It is through this spirit, previously considered benign for thousands of vampire years and throughout the Vampire Chronicles, that we come to be told the hypnotic tale of a great sea power of ancient times; a mysterious heaven on earth situated on a boundless continent -- and of how and why this force came to build and rule the great legendary empire of centuries ago that thrived in the Atlantic Ocean. And as we learn of the mighty powers of this lost kingdom of Atalantaya, the lost realms of Atlantis, we come to understand its secrets, and how and why the vampire Lestat, indeed all the vampires, must reckon so many millennia later with the terrifying force of this ageless, all-powerful Atalantaya spirit.
