We begin on the night when Louis, disaffected and reluctant heir to a Louisiana plantation, is turned into a vampire by Lestat. Radiant, petulant, and powerful, Lestat becomes Louis’ companion and urges him to embrace the hungers and feelings of vampirism: the detachment, the hardened will, the “superior” sensual pleasures. As Louis struggles to retain the last residue of human feeling within him, he discovers that he must commit the ultimate act: to break away from his creator and discover the new world to which he belongs—whatever the cost.This is a story of danger and flight, of loyalty and treachery, of gaining humanity and losing it, and of the extraordinary power of the senses.This is a ticketed event at Loyola's Roussel Auditorium. Tickets include one entry and one copy of Interview with the Vampire: 50th Anniversary Edition, to be handed out at check-in.The book will be pre-signed by Leigh Bardugo (foreward) and Christopher Rice (afterword).Questions?
