中文简介：The Interview with the Vampire《夜访吸血鬼》是美国作家安妮·赖斯写于1973年，并在1976年出版的小说。《夜访吸血鬼》以其对生命的绝望、对长生不老的厌倦及忏悔的风格创造了吸血鬼小说的新格局。赖斯在她的作者简介中指出，她那因白血病而早逝的女儿米檞尔让她开始撰写一系列的吸血鬼小说。《夜访吸血鬼》的阴暗风格有别于它的续篇，莱斯特看事情的角度也随着系列的进展也有所不同。但无论如何，《夜访吸血鬼》仍是安妮·赖斯最畅销也最经典的作品。

英文简介：This is the story of Louis, as told in his own words, of his journey through mortal and immortal life. Louis recounts how he became a vampire at the hands of the radiant and sinister Lestat and how he became indoctrinated, unwillingly, into the vampire way of life. His story ebbs and flows through the streets of New Orleans, defining crucial moments such as his discovery of the exquisite lost young child Claudia, wanting not to hurt but to comfort her with the last breaths of humanity he has inside. Yet, he makes Claudia a vampire, trapping her womanly passion, will, and intelligence inside the body of a small child. Louis and Claudia form a seemingly unbreakable alliance and even "settle down" for a while in the opulent French Quarter. Louis remembers Claudia's struggle to understand herself and the hatred they both have for Lestat that sends them halfway across the world to seek others of their kind. Louis and Claudia are desperate to find somewhere they belong, to find others who understand, and someone who knows what and why they are.
