Divisadero Street

Ah! You’ve found your way through the delightful maze of Louis’s home to his secluded corner under the bookstore. A stalwart soul. Pull up a chair, please. No, no, the garish red chair is reserved for Lestat, I’m afraid. The green one, perhaps? It’s quite comfortable.

Allow me to explain Louis’s filing system. (Only Lestat’s house on Prytania Street surpasses it in complexity.) The stack before you contains various editions of all the books in the Vampire Chronicles. Clicking any book’s title or cover reveals more details about the book, and the chance to order a copy for your own library, should you be so inclined.

The Vampire Chronicles   Interview With The Vampire (IWTV)   The Vampire Lestat (TVL)   The Queen of the Damned (QotD)   The Tale of the Body Thief (TotBT)   Memnoch the Devil (MtD)   The Vampire Armand (TVA)   Boxed Sets & Miscellanea

Other stacks are still being sorted, I’m afraid, but should be ready for your browsing pleasure shortly. You may look up other books in the card catalogue, however.

The Vampire Lestat
Louis’s maker responds to his book, and their reunion in the final chapters is endearing. Lestat tells all the world about Those Who Must Be Kept, giving Louis the knowledge he craved while at the same time safeguarding him from Marius’s vow to kill anyone to whom Lestat revealed this secret.

Table of Contents.

The Queen of the Damned
Every bloodsucker in creation comes out of woodwork in this, Lestat’s second book.

Hardcover Jacket	Hardcover. It may come from Lestat, but he only pops in from time to time. The point of view changes as different vampires — some new, some old, some very very old — relate history as it happened to them. The Silmarillion of the Vampire Chronicles. May be out of print; make a special request.	Trade Paperback	Trade Paperback. Larger format than mass market, often edited. The current edition features a canopied bedroom scene.

Table of Contents.

The Tale of the Body Thief
Lestat’s third book is perhaps the most fun. If you don’t laugh at least once, you must be dead.

Hardcover Jacket	Hardcover. Dubiously, this is the book that introduced Chronicles afficionados to Café du Monde. A manic rollercoaster ride, from hilarious bathroom scenes to unrepentant rape, both mortal and vampiric. That said, scenes between Louis and Lestat are insightful.	Trade Paperback	Trade Paperback. Larger format than mass market, often edited. The current edition features.... Hmm, is that a Georgetown condo or Bahaman bungalow?
Paperback Cover	Mass Market. Paperback. The current edition has a black cover and an artist’s rendering of sunset over Miami.	Audiobook	Audio Cassette. Abridged. Read by Richard E. Grant, whose brass became legend in L.A. Story.

Table of Contents.

Memnoch the Devil
Love it or hate it, Lestat’s fourth offering is his most controversial. Hands down.

Hardcover Jacket	Hardcover. Though pushed away in disgust and out-and-out thrown across the room, the scenes of Heaven and Hell are compelling and enduring. Louis makes but a minute appearance.	Trade Paperback	Trade Paperback. Larger format than mass market, often edited.
Paperback Cover	Mass Market. Paperback. The current edition has a red Arabesqued cover and an artist’s rendering of a black-caped figure on a snow-covered bridge, crossing toward the NYC skyline.	Audiobook	Audio Cassette. Abridged.

Table of Contents.

The Vampire Armand
Ah! Lestat’s on sabbatical and someone else gets a word in edgewise. Wonderful words indeed, even if they’re not from Louis, and much welcomed after MtD.

Hardcover Jacket	Hardcover. Armand’s story as only hinted at in IWTV and TVL. From Kiev to Venice to the good old USA, the flavors change with each locale. Louis is mentioned fondly, but makes no appearance.	Trade Paperback	Trade Paperback. Larger format than mass market, often edited. The current edition features a view onto moonlit Manhattan.
Cover Unavailable	Mass Market. Paperback. Not yet available.	Large Print Paperback	Large Print. Paperback. Sometimes edited from the original.
