| Summary: | Mystery. Immortality. Power. These are the qualities of the fictional vampire that make the beast appealing to mortal readers. The reigning queen of contemporary vampire literature is Anne Rice whose novel Interview With the Vampire , the first in a series, was published in 1976. Since then, Rice has produced two additional offerings in the Vampire Chronicles. Each novel deals with the delicate balance between the world of mortals and the existence of the vampires. Rice has created a new generation of vampires who reflect the alienation, isolation, and self-doubt experienced by modern humans. Rice uses her immortals to voice her opinions regarding church, society, and modern philosophy. She changed the rules for the undead, made the vampires into metaphors for the human condition, and accomplished a little psychotherapy at the same time . | |
