Interview with the Vampire. One could argue its greatness, but it does have some import. ....and a host of absolutely awful sequels.

Interview with the Vampire is great, but The Vampire Lestat is the peak of the series, in my opinion. It's a much more interesting protagonist, and much more fun that the depths of despair dredged in the first book.

I agree. TVL is the peak. It went downhill from there.

I was so obsessed with Anne Rice’s works as a teenager and then I felt obligated to keep reading her newer works even though I didn’t enjoy them anymore. Interview was definitely the best of the vampire novels.

That’s an interesting one because I know a ton of people like the sequels more than the first
