Nicola Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 From what I understand there are two more books. I'm looking forward to reading them. According to Wikipedia there are quite a few books in the series. The Vampire Chronicles Interview with the Vampire (1976) The Vampire Lestat (1985) The Queen of the Damned (1988) The Tale of the Body Thief (1992) Memnoch the Devil (1995) The Vampire Armand (1998) Merrick (2000) Blood and Gold (2001) Blackwood Farm (2002) Blood Canticle (2003) The new Tales of the Vampires Pandora (1998) Vittorio the Vampire (1999) I've read the first two but the rest sound pretty amazing too. I also agree with bookjumper regarding Antonio Banderas being cast as Armand. Not the best choice in my opinion but I do have a soft spot for Brad Pitt as Louis and Tom Cruise was a good choice for Lestat. Kirsten Dunst was also amazing as Claudia. Quote
sadya Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Thanks for the info. The edition of 'Interview with the vampire' in my library is a Dutch translation of 1990. It only mentions two other books. Perhaps the rest wasn't translated (yet). The third book is called 'Moeder aller zielen' in Dutch, which means roughly translated 'Mother of all souls'. I didn't know the original title is 'Queen of the Damned', I've seen that movie too! It was pretty good. I did'nt know it was part of a series of 'Interview with a vampire'. I hope they have all the books here. The Dutch translation also mentions four other books by Anne Rice, under the category 'De Mayfair-Kronieken', I assume in English it's called 'The Mayfair-Chronicles', unless they've completely changed it's title too in Dutch. They seem to be about witches judging from their separate titles. Maybe I'm going to try those after finishing 'The Vampire Chronicles'. Quote

The Vampire Chronicles feature some of the characters from the 'Lives of the Mayfair Witches Series' in the later books. I'm not sure how big a role they play in the vampire books but if you read all of the chronicles, you should be familiar with the witches before you embark on that series. It all sounds pretty interesting Quote
Nicola Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Well.....after reading the Sookie Stackhouse Souther Vampire Mysteries I think my new favourite vampire (sorry Lestat!!) might just be Eric Northman Quote
Charm Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Dracula has to win hands down, he's the original master! I think Lestat or Armand would be my among my favourites too though. Hmm .. think I've changed my mind Eric Northman from the Sookie Stackhouse mysteries definately does it for me now Interview with the Vampire (1976) The Vampire Lestat (1985) The Queen of the Damned (1988) The Tale of the Body Thief (1992) Memnoch the Devil (1995) The Vampire Armand (1998) Merrick (2000) Blood and Gold (2001) Blackwood Farm (2002) Blood Canticle (2003) The new Tales of the Vampires Pandora (1998) Vittorio the Vampire (1999) Thanks for this Nicola. I didn't realise there were so many. I've read the first six but think I'll have to look up the rest now Quote
Nicola Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Hmm .. think I've changed my mind Eric Northman from the Sookie Stackhouse mysteries definately does it for me now I think everyone's caught the Eric bug!! Haa!! Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I think everyone's caught the Eric bug!! Haa!! Yeah. I add myself to that list As much as I love the Cullens (as my previous post argued), I get the feeling that Bill and especially Eric could easily win I wouldn't mind Eric fighting to save me Quote
Kell Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Well.....after reading the Sookie Stackhouse Souther Vampire Mysteries I think my new favourite vampire (sorry Lestat!!) might just be Eric Northman I'm firmly on the Eric Northman team. Quote
Nicola Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 I think we need to get us an Eric Appreciation Society sorted out!! God bless that Viking! Quote
Nicola Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Oh Oh! Count me in! :lol: and I thought I had it bad!!! 2 dancing/bouncing/hyper girls!! (there go the hysterical laughing heads again!!) Is there a group already for Eric Northman/Sookie Stackhouse etc? How do we create one? Are we allowed? Confusion! Quote
Stephanie2008 Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 If you find one/make one, someone please let me know so I can join in the fun Quote
Nollaig Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 You people are so fickle! Everytime a new vampire comes along, it's *swoon* Edward *swoon* Eric. Angel would kick all their nancy boy asses anyway. Quote

Charm Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) Is there a group already for Eric Northman/Sookie Stackhouse etc? How do we create one? Are we allowed? Confusion! If you find one/make one, someone please let me know so I can join in the fun Great idea! Angel isn't a pansy compared to anyone. You need to read the books. Edited August 11, 2009 by Charm Quote
Echo Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 The best vampires, by far, are Dracula (no one is scarier or more tragic), Lestat (who can beat a rock star vampire?), and Armand (looks like a boy, feeds like a man). Quote
Nollaig Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 I hated Lestat. As soon as I saw the rock star bit at the start of TVL, I put it down and abandoned Ann Rice for good. Quote
Adam Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 The only vampire I know is Dracula. He is the original and the master! Quote
SweetiiPie85 Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 I am another Twilight fan so I would have to say the Cullens Can someone tell me who Eric Northman is please? I have never heard of him Quote
lexiepiper Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 He's a vampire in Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series Quote
SweetiiPie85 Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Just looked this up on the internet - so these books are what the TV show True Blood is based on. I have been looking forward to watching this. I will be looking for the books the next time I'm at the bookshop. Thanks Lexie Quote
