Author of goth novels, not my favorite genre. Wrote Interview With a Vampire, which I did enjoy.

You know…..I saw the movie first (of course) and then went and read Interview and really liked it overall. Surprised me as I don’t like the goth genre as well.

Tried being ambitious and reading the next one, Lester, and…..nope.

Her genre wasn’t for me, but she was a very gifted writer.

Ironically enough, I’m reading Bloodsucking Fiends right now. Not his best really.

I’ve the first 4 or 5 books in the Lestat series many years ago. Always meant to get back to it. Guess I’ll do it now.

I read interview then queen of the damned, for some reason I was thinking there were 3 books but don’t care enough to go look.

Interview was good, the rest were ok, but that’s it for the vampire stuff. I don’t like any other of the genre, not for me. I don’t know what it was about Interview, it was just a good story.

one of the few i've read, really need to get back to it. i enjoyed it. made me think about getting a job at the local grocery store back in my insomniac days. only other one i remember reading was coyote blue, there may have been others. i did get noir from the library, but never finished before i had to return it, couldn't get into it.

Noir wasn't one of my favorites of his

I really love the Fool series of books. I have had to put it down a couple times from seriously laughing at it.

I enjoyed Dirty Job, prob should read the sequel.

I read Interview... when I was probably about 13. It was unforgivably stupid and cartoonish...even for a kid.

Yes, and that's why Hankie likes it. The movie was gay soft pr0n and the book was like some kind of bland vampire shit for 7th graders. All these years later, I still remember throwing the book when I finished the last page in disgust....and my mom yelling at me because I hit a lamp or something.
