The Vampire Chronicles are a series of novels by Anne Rice that revolve around the adventures of an ever-changing coven of vampires. Throughout the series the protagonist, Lestat, seeks the origin of the vampire species and tries to fit his need for blood into a workable moral system.Trope Codifier for the modern day interpretation of Vampires Are Sex Gods. Before Interview, the general public's image of vampires was based on Dracula via Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee, who, while a sex god in his own right, was mysterious, distant, threatening, and a metaphor for rape. Rice's vampires in contrast were modern, petulant, deliciously angsty, incredibly fabulous, and dripping with bisexual eroticism. These were vampires you were supposed to find attractive. The Goth scene owes a ton to Interview with the Vampire. Books in this series: 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) Prince Lestat (2014) Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis (2016) Blood Communion (2018)Related books (The New Tales of the Vampires): Pandora (1998) Vittorio the Vampire (1999)Two of the books have been adapted more or less faithfully to film: Interview with the Vampire and Queen of the Damned.Some novels in the series Crossover with Anne Rice's witch-centered trilogy, Lives of the Mayfair Witches, namely Merrick, Blackwood Farm and Blood Canticle.A television adaptation of Interview With the Vampire premiered on October 2, 2022.

comment
Pretending to Be One's Own Relative: In Queen of the Damned, Maharet explains that she periodically reveals herself to her extensive clan of descendants by showing up as the family genealogist. She claims to be from a slightly obscure branch of the family, where the women are all named Maharet and pass down the responsibility of maintaining the family tree. For whatever reason, they believe it and welcome her with open arms.

Rape as Drama
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_12dd1d4c
comment
Rape as Drama: A very unusual example in The Tale of the Body Thief, which follows the perpetrator's perspective. Armand also states that he was raped as an enslaved human, but that actually caused less direct drama than most of the other things that happened to him.

Heroic BSoD
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_1439161f
comment
Heroic BSoD: Louis is hit with this when Claudia is executed. It destroys the vestiges of humanity that Lestat, Claudia, and Armand found so alluring, and he spends over a century in a detached, passionless state. Would almost qualify as a Despair Event Horizon, as he concludes his life story (and the book itself) without having reached any further resolution; luckily, reuniting with Lestat years later seems to have revitalized him. Lestat accidentally triggers one in himself when, following the revelation that his mother is dying and during a drinking session with Nicholas, he suddenly grasps the horrific, meaningless, nihilistic nature of reality. It results in a rather explosive anxiety attack followed by a severe, extended depression/existential crisis, which slackened over time but "never did pass, really".

Unreliable Narrator
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_1869b4b1
comment
Unreliable Narrator: The Lestat that appeared in Interview with the Vampire was not merely the antagonist; he was a stupid, cruel and petty villain. The (vastly different) Lestat of the later books claims he was spitefully misrepresented by Louis. Although it can be debated whether Vampire Chronicles fits this trope at all, as we're not talking about one narrator who is inconsistent, we're talking about two completely different narrators within the series (not counting the multiple points of view of The Queen of the Damned). Of course a depiction of Lestat from the perspective of Louis (who resents him) is going to be more harsh and critical, and a depiction of Lestat from his own point of view is going to be more forgiving. No one sees themselves as being "stupid, cruel and petty." Lestat knows and fully understands the motivations behind his own actions and Louis doesn't, which would account for any seeming inconsistencies in Lestat's characterization. The simplest explanation is that Lestat went through a lot of personal change as the series progressed, which explains why he became a very different character in the later books than he was in the early ones (toward the end he even starts to believe in God.) It is worth noting that Louis is self-absorbed to the point where, unlike most vampires, he almost never seems to exhibit any significant telepathic ability. Thus his point of view is entirely his own. Lestat, in contrast, makes extensive use of telepathy, particularly as his powers grow, and many of the observations in the stories he narrates came directly from the thoughts and memories of other characters. Thus he is to some extent an omniscient narrator.

Gray-and-Grey Morality: Most of the characters have a high degree of moral ambiguity, although some (such as Louis) come across as A Lighter Shade of Gray than the ones around them. Akasha is a likely aversion, considering that basically everyone besides herself thinks she needs to be stopped.

 The Vampire Chronicles / int_1beef720
comment
Living Forever Is Awesome: Lestat has this attitude despite the fact he's gone through numerous horrible traumas. Most of the other Ancients are similarly of the mindset that there's no point in dying. Louis, by contrast, is really the only one who romanticizes death. At least after the Paris Satanic cult was "reformed" by Lestat. They were pretty miserable.

Vampires Are Rich: Or at least, they can be if they choose. Those that don't, such as Mael, don't accumulate wealth because they lose the thread of humanity and don't have any interest in what they consider mortal trappings. Being immortal, telepathic and willing to kill people makes the accumulation of wealth fairly easy. Some vampires do eschew money or property. But over time the older ones in particular just find it convenient to be rich, if only because they develop a taste for lavish lifestyles. Plus, one year's regular consumer product can be a priceless antique a century later.

Break the Haughty: A series of selfish, arrogant choices catches up with Lestat when Claudia and Louis leave him for dead; he spends years covered in hideous scars; and Armand manipulates him into testifying against Claudia, refuses his request for healing blood, and throws him off a building for good measure. Traumatized and humiliated, Lestat spends decades as a shut-in, surrounded by junk and animal corpses and abandoned by a string of vampires who show up out of curiosity more than compassion. Subverted in that he eventually recovers... after about a hundred years.

Undead Tax Exemption: Material possession minded vampires employ elaborate systems of lawyers, front companies and multinational bank accounts to manage their assets. They actually find this even easier in the modern era, as people increasingly believe that as long as there is a record of something then it must be legitimate. Where necessary they employ telepathy to aid in maintaining their secrecy. Lestat actually selects his first attorney at least in part because he finds the man's mind very easy to read and is thus always able to come up with the right explanations for anything questionable.

Ax-Crazy: A lot of minor characters— vampires like eating baddies, and Akasha creates an army of misandrist women. Of the major characters, Armand exemplifies this trope in The Vampire Lestat. Most of his followers are relieved to discover they don't really work for Satan, need to fear religious symbols, or have to sleep among stinking corpses. Armand, however, hits a Villainous BSoD and starts chucking his underlings into a bonfire. In "The Vampire Armand", he literally breaks a door down with an axe at one point, and later claims to have Frankensteined Claudia's decapitated head onto an adult body before killing her. Magnus kidnapped, killed, and discarded dozens of young, blond men, leaving their bodies to rot in his crypt, before he selected Lestat as his fledgling. Mael not only kidnaps Marius so he can become a trapped vampiric god, he also feels betrayed when Marius escapes.

C-List Fodder: Once unleashed, Akasha kills off most of the vampire race except, conveniently, for every single major character in the series, and plots to exterminate all men on earth. This (except for the "exterminate all men" part) is justified in that Lestat's cadre of friends is the upper echelon of vampires who have been around for hundreds to thousands of years and who have very aggressively marked out their territory. They've gotten that old by being very clever and by learning how to move around in vampire society (i.e. learning who to not piss off). The vampires that Akasha kills are the young ones barely out of their first century, and considering how few older vampires are actually out there it seems reasonable to assume that even if she hadn't gone on a killing spree, most of them would still have died competing with one another for supremacy in a process of natural selection. Not to mention, Akasha states that she spared some of the vampires who were not old and powerful yet because Lestat loved them. Louis and Gabrielle fall under this as well.

I Love You, Vampire Son
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_3055a30d
comment
I Love You, Vampire Son: Frequently averted: Lestat "couldn't stand the sight" of his fledgling Nicki; Louis shows no interest in a relationship with Madeleine; Magnus kills himself after making Lestat; and Armand leaves Daniel with Marius soon after Daniel's transformation. That being said there are a couple of vampires who deeply love their fledglings and are loved in return. The most notorious example, despite their Kiss-Kiss-Slap dynamics at times, would probably be Lestat and Louis. There's also Marius and Armand.

Cursed with Awesome
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_309b8806
comment
Cursed with Awesome: The vampires have eternal youth, super speed, super strength, telepathy, telekinesis and the power of flight, but some of them still see their existence as a curse. Though this is averted (kind of) since Lestat admits (after the events of Tale of the Body Thief) that, if he's really honest with himself, he would much rather be a vampire than a human. Despite the the bad things he's been through as a vampire. Some of the vampires view immortality as a curse and some don't and think the ones that do are ridiculous. The series stresses (at least in the beginning) that there are many different philosophical perspectives from which a vampire can view his situation, all of them equally valid. To be fair, the focus of the series is usually on the incredible psychological strain of living for hundreds, or even thousands, of years and the toll it can take on ones sanity. But at the same time, their society is either anarchic and devil-may-care or conformist and stifling, and the characters are deeply flawed by their emotions and frustrations brought out by the transformation. And not to mention that sunlight and fire can (and does) easily immolate them. But even that gets mitigated with age. A sufficiently old vampire can, in fact, withstand exposure to daylight, at least for a time. The very oldest can even handle a full day out with minimal worry. Lestat himself survives close to two days in the sun of the Gobi Desert. It hurts like nothing else (forgive me) under the sun, but when it's over, his powers and mobility are unaffected and aside from a massive suntan that will last for decades, the damage is, literally, only skin deep. Maharet regularly walks in the sun every several years in this way to keep up a tan that makes her more lifelike to mortals. The very eldest vampires, when they really consider it, worry that if the sun can't do the job, there may be nothing that can kill them even if they wanted it to.

Feral Vampires: Despite the series being the Trope Codifier for the opposite, a great many of these vampires can also be found wandering Europe. Called "revenants", they are essentially bestial, animated corpses, viciously attacking human and vampire alike. It's implied some were prospective Children of Darkness, whose initial test for fledgelings was to bury them alive to suffer prolonged starvation until they could free themselves, a process that could result in an insane Empty Shell driven purely by thirst.

Literary Work of Magic: Interview With the Vampire, the book itself, serves a similar function In-Universe. When Lestat awakens in the sequel, he discovers his name and many details of his life with Louis are now famous and part of popular culture. The Vampire Lestat is framed and written as his response —cashing in on the popularity to promote his new rock and roll career, correcting misconceptions about his person, detailing his origins, and officially breaking The Masquerade while calling on other vampires to do so as well.

Effeminate Misogynistic Guy: Despite the fact that he's a bling-loving, long-haired bisexual who describes himself as a "mother" in making a new vampire, Lestat "never imagined that a woman" could express thoughts like Gabrielle's; seems more disconcerted by Gabrielle's cross-dressing than by her killing people; assumes that Claudia lacks the will and cunning to defeat him; describes women as "terrifying"; rapes the waitress who tries to help him; agrees with Memnoch that the technically-sexless angels are "more male than female"; and describes the desire to conquer others as "purely male." Given that he has decades of chances to understand women as diverse as Gabrielle, Eleni, Claudia, Pandora, Akasha, and thousands of human examples, it's hard to attribute his attitude to anything but irrational prejudice.

So Beautiful, It's a Curse

comment
So Beautiful, It's a Curse: Zig-zagged with Armand. When his looks get him kidnapped, raped, sent hundreds of miles from home, and locked in a brothel cellar to die, it looks like this trope. However, after Marius rescues him, Armand enjoys his good looks, seducing men and women and decking himself out with luxurious clothes. Then Lord Harlech attacks him, the Satanists brainwash him, and we're back to this trope. Another murky example is Lestat himself: as he points out, Magnus picked him, turning him against his will, in part for his physical beauty. Lestat waffles on just how unfortunate this was, but eventually decides that, all things considered, being a vampire beats being human.

Your Vampires Suck: Aimed at Dracula in the series, the series itself is probably the second most common after Dracula to receive this treatment in other works. Though this didn't seem like genuine criticism on the author's part, but more as a means of illustrating how her vampires are different than Bram Stoker's Dracula (who is most commonly regarded as the "traditional" model of a vampire.) Given that Louis expresses the desire to be able to turn into mist this seems like more of an Our Vampires Are Different than a Your Vampires Suck.

Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome: Laurent, the "boy zealot" of Armand's Children of Darkness and a founding member of the Theatre des Vampires, appears for all of five minutes in Queen of the Damned before Akasha unceremoniously incinerates him. Felix, another follower of Armand and Theatre vampire, is given the same treatment. A bit surprising, considering Akasha meant to spare those who Lestat cared for and he reacts to their deaths rather bitterly, but to be fair their personalities ("devout Satanist" and "nice dancer", respectively) would have left them little to do regarding the plot.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: Interview with A Vampire has Louis as the protagonist, and Lestat as a petty, vain, and an often cruel anti-villain. Later novels have Lestat as an anti-hero, and explain the discrepancy by saying that both men are bending the truth. Interview with a Vampire also has a slightly different, more nihilistic tone than the rest of the series; the novel is mostly about the loneliness and morality issues that vampires (who are tiny in number) face when trying to hide in society. The novel suggests that there are no answers to the vampire (and thus human) condition, no one knows anything about the vampire species' origins, and most vampires are as selfish and troubled as humans. Later novels, starting with The Vampire Lestat suggest that there are far more vampires than previously indicated, vampires are far more powerful psychically and physically, and kinds of vampire spirituality/mythos are explored with vampire religious cults and ancient vampires such as Marius.

Additionally, gender isn't an issue for romantic or sensual purposes; things become beautiful (to them) because said things are alive. So, everyone is Bi-romantic, bi-sensual and extremely hedonistic.

Locked into Strangeness
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_5148024
comment
Locked into Strangeness: Vampires' skin becomes whiter, smoother, and shinier upon their transformations and as they "age," while their eyes develop an iridescence, their nails turn glassy, and slight imperfections in their features disappear. For Lestat and Gabrielle, the change also leads to thicker, paler hair. Since some vampires, e.g. Akasha and Enkil, remain dark-haired despite centuries or even millennia of vampirism, it seems that the physical effects of vampirism vary from person to person. If a vampire is badly burned by fire or sunlight their hair will sometimes turn white permanently.

Demonic Vampires
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_5216ae05
comment
Demonic Vampires: According to The Vampire Lestat, the first vampire was created when a bodiless demon fused with the blood of a dying Egyptian queen, and its power sustains all younger vampires. However, later books (and the Devil himself) clarify that the "demon" is a once-human spirit who escaped the afterlife, so vampires have no direct link to Hell.

Their bodies are smooth and poreless, and they grow paler and ever more inhuman over time. Among other things, substances like water, dirt, and dust do not cling to a vampire's skin the way they would a human's and can be wiped clean the same way one would clean a mirror. Their bodies seem to become just a hardened, glossy husk filled with blood over time. In Queen of the Damned, Akasha completely drains her husband Enkil, who is the second vampire created and has been alive for millennia, and when Marius finds the body, it is described as light and nearly transparent; when Marius knocks it over onto the floor, he says it makes a sound like dry insect husks on the marble.

Villain Has a Point: Marius actually concedes Akasha's point that she could achieve world peace by killing 99% of human males (although he doesn't believe that the ends justify the means). A little odd when you consider that, even as a human, Akasha could have served as Exhibit A for female-induced destruction. Which is much of Akasha's Fatal Flaw; she's incapable of recognizing that most of her problems are of her own making, and is a textbook case of Never My Fault.

Twisted Eucharist
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_82b64343
comment
Twisted Eucharist: The Eucharistic imagery doesn't get more blatant, whose film had the tagline "Drink from me, and live forever." Vampire stories that follow Anne Rice's lead have people becoming vampires after drinking the blood of their vampiric sire, usually after the vampire in question has just drained them of all of their blood.

Made a Slave: Armand, by a Tatar raiding group, during his adolescence. Some fledglings exist in a state of slavery to their masters. Think about how Lestat tried to keep Claudia as a perpetual ward, or Eudoxia's hapless servants and lover.

comment
Psychic Powers: Rice actively avoids using Functional Magic in this series as well as in Lives of the Mayfair Witches. Preternatural phenomena and abilities are all explained in psychic terms. All vampires possess at least some degree of Telepathy. Mind over Matter is the basic animating force of vampires, accounting for their superhuman strength and speed, which often seem to violate normal laws of physics. The older and more powerful ones also have various additional abilities, including telekinesis, pyrokinesis and the ability to kill people telekinetically. They can also fly and are capable of Astral Projection.

Villain Protagonist
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_898ff050
comment
Villain Protagonist: The main characters are all vicious murderers, but it's OK because they feel bad about it. Debatable: many of the main characters do not kill humans, but instead survive by the "little drink" (taking small amounts of blood from several humans instead of completely draining one) or at least only kill people who seem to deserve it (murderers, rapists, etc.), and a vampire who kills without discretion is usually depicted as being (at least somewhat) worse than one who is selective about who he kills. This is usually chalked up to the fact that a vampire's mind simply doesn't work the way a human's mind works and the fact that, if you look at it subjectively, humans really are below vampires on the food chain. Lestat himself alternates between idealistic and pragmatic on the matter throughout the books. They don't always feel bad about it, in fact some of them never do. Armand in particular exhibits little guilt over killing humans, although he is not always cruel to the victim when he does it. Gabrielle flat-out states "I will be a goddess to those I slay." when she decides to venture into central Africa (then largely unexplored by Europeans). Marius encourages ethical feeding habits, but is not above a killing when it is convenient.

Demonic Possession
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_906365a2
comment
Demonic Possession: Not "demonic" but "spiritual". A particularly nasty spirit named Amel likes pricking people so that they bleed. When Akasha and Enkil are mortally wounded by their subjects, Amel enters Akasha through her blood and takes root, turning her into the first vampire. By draining and then feeding Enkil her own blood, Akasha spreads Amel to him, although the core remains in her. Amel's thirst for blood is what drives all vampires, although the thirst decreases with each vampire, as Amel's essence is lessened. Since Amel's core is in Akasha, any harm that comes to her is spread to all vampires to various degree (in one case, exposing her to the sun killed many young vampires but only burned older ones). Killing Akasha would kill every vampire in the world, unless another one eats her brain and heart, taking the core into him or her.

Vomit Indiscretion Shot: Three times in The Vampire Lestat, always accompanied by a surprising dose of Purple Prose.

Eye Scream: Akasha had Maharet's eyes cut out. Maharet's solution is to steal the eyes of her victims, pop them into her eye sockets, and let her vampire blood work its magic and allow her to see. It's mentioned that she has to, periodically, replace the eyes with fresh ones, until she takes Thorne's as punishment for disobeying a command. Lestat gets one eye ripped out (although he gets it back) while fighting his way out of Hell in Memnoch the Devil.

Physical God: Akasha imagines herself to be one as soon as she becomes a vampire at the edge of prehistory. This attitude only increases along with her powers as thousands of years go by. In The Queen of the Damned, the ancient vampire Azim has done this literally. He has a temple in the Himalayas where human pilgrims come to commit ritual suicide by offering themselves to him. His worshipers are quite excited when another "goddess", Pandora, stops by for a visit and are thrilled to offer themselves to her as well.

And I Must Scream
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_a8a04f6f
comment
And I Must Scream: Akasha had Mekare's tongue cut out, and then sealed her inside a coffin that she set adrift in the Atlantic Ocean. Many vampires also believe that if they are left in the sun or burned, and their ashes are left unscattered, they will experience this. And then there was the Parisian vampire tradition of burying their criminals and new fledglings alive.

Parting-Words Regret: Louis' last words with his brother were a harsh argument — the brother claimed to have had a religious vision that they should sell their possessions to become missionaries, and Louis mocked him as delusional. The brother died in a fall immediately after, leaving Louis nearly suicidal with self-recrimination.

Deliberate Values Dissonance: Since many vampires predate modern conventions and a lot of the series takes place in the past, this trope cones up a good bit. Louis used to regards blacks as less intelligent than whites (although he no longer does).

Dramatic Irony
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_ab5eea65
comment
Dramatic Irony: In a couple of Calls Forward dealing with fledglings: Eudoxia tells Marius to pick a young person as a fledgling in Blood and Gold; and Marius tells Lestat to make sure his potential fledglings have plenty of life experience in The Vampire Lestat. In both cases, the reader knows how much the younger vampire will or won't take the lesson to heart, and the resulting disasters. Another combination with a Call-Forward: In The Vampire Lestat, Eleni explains the mood in Paris by telling Lestat that the vampires could feed off humans on stage and the audience wouldn't tell the difference. Readers of Interview with the Vampire know this will actually happen, decades after Eleni sends her letter.

Character Filibuster
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_abc55125
comment
Character Filibuster: Arguably Roger in Memnoch the Devil. Lestat does this from time to time, the worst example being all of Chapter 16 in Blood Canticle, wherein he stops the plot to explain why he's in love with a character despite their complete lack of chemistry. Lestat also takes time in the preface of Blood Canticle to complain about the fans' reaction to Memnoch the Devil, saying more or less that he gave them a glimpse into the mysteries of Heaven and Hell and all they wanted was "the fancy fiend" with glamorous leather and heavy motorcycles. He assures them that there's plenty of traditional badassery to go around but that he'll get to it when he's good and ready. Then again, that might be a full-on Author Filibuster, as well as Chapter 7 of the same novel, which has nothing to do with the plot or the series, but is a three page rave about the new Pope and some Saint in Mexico.

All for Nothing
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_aed65980
comment
All for Nothing: Armand, infatuated with Louis' humanity and passion, orchestrates Claudia's murder to free Louis for himself (indirectly sacrificing his coven in the process). Losing Claudia, however, destroys the very traits that Armand loved in Louis, rendering him cold and detached from anything and everything... including Armand, who wanders off in despair when he realizes Louis isn't going to get over it. Louis' attempts to help Babette Freniere after Lestat kills her brother become this: While his advice initially allows her to save her family's fortune and regain her social status, he is forced to reveal his nature to her when his slaves drive him from Pointe du Lac. She becomes the first example of mortals tending to Go Mad from the Revelation that vampires exist, and dies "young and insane".

Retcon: Interview With a Vampire has several scenes of Louis showing what a monster Lestat is, such as killing a pair or prostitutes for no reason and a young local rich youth Louis liked. In The Vampire Lestat, Lestat "sets the record straight": That "noble youth" was a wastrel about to gamble away his family's fortunes and those "innocent women" had drugged, robbed and murdered over a dozen men. Indeed, much of Lestat's supposed character and origins is shifted quite a bit over the course of the books.

I Cannot Self-Terminate: The older the vampire, the harder they are to kill. The oldest and most powerful ones cannot die even if they step outside during the day. If they wish to die, they need help from another powerful vampire. Marius actually cites the inability to self-terminate as a reason a younger vampire may choose to not drink blood of an older vampire to strengthen themselves.

Really Gets Around: Lestat's father was frequently assailed by men demanding recompense in the event that Lestat knocked up their daughters. The prodigal son also slept with multiple prostitutes and at least one man (although that was in a serious relationship) before he switched to giving the vampiric kiss instead. Armand spent days on end in brothels, at Marius's urging, during his years in Venice. He also received one-sided pleasure from Marius; had casual sex with his fellow apprentices; and pursued affairs with Bianca Solderini and, unfortunately, Lord Harlech before his transformation at seventeen.

Murder by Inaction: The end of Interview with the Vampire, possibly. Armand claims he couldn’t have prevented Claudia’s execution, but Louis accuses him of letting it happen because he didn’t want the rest of the coven turning on him and Claudia says he secretly wanted her dead so he could have Louis to himself. It’s left up to the reader to guess if Armand’s powers of persuasion and influence in the Theatre des Vampires would have been enough to sway a mob of angry vampires led by Santiago, who has a petty personal grudge against Louis.

All vampires possess at least some degree of Telepathy. Mind over Matter is the basic animating force of vampires, accounting for their superhuman strength and speed, which often seem to violate normal laws of physics. The older and more powerful ones also have various additional abilities, including telekinesis, pyrokinesis and the ability to kill people telekinetically. They can also fly and are capable of Astral Projection.

Anti-Villain: Lestat in Interview. He's controlling, egotistic, selfish, and proud; he also proves to be Claudia's main obstacle to freedom and Louis goes between tolerating him and flat-out hating him. But at the same time he's easily the most fascinating character in the story and his attitudes set him apart from other actual antagonists encountered later.

Hemo Erotic: When Claudia asks Louis what it was like to make love, he replies that it was like "the shadow of killing," which they perform by draining their victims' blood. At one point Lestat bites his tongue so he can both make out with and feed Gabrielle. Y'know, his mother.

Breakout Character
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_da0eeab5
comment
Breakout Character: Interview With The Vampire is Louis' story, with Lestat as a villain and supporting character (he's actually absent for a good chunk of the novel midway). But thanks to all the positive feedback he got in Interview, Rice saw fit to not only make the sequel from Lestat's POV, but to pretty much make him the protagonist of the whole damn series. Armand was also another character who didn't appear until towards the end of the first novel, but he ends up playing significant roles (or just to stand around looking pretty) in the books following "Interview" until he finally gets his own book, "The Vampire Armand"—same goes for Marius.

 The Vampire Chronicles / int_da1c8191
comment
Writers Cannot Do Math: In Queen of the Damned, Lestat tells Akasha, "And by this you mean kill forty percent of the population of the earth? Ninety percent of all males?" Supposedly this is based on assuming males are 50% of the world's population. If this is true, ninety percent of all males is fourty-five percent of the total population, not forty. Ninety percent of the male population would correspond to forty percent of the world's population, if the male population was around 44-45% of the total. Also, earlier in the book Akasha says she is leaving one male in a hundred alive, so it is unclear where the 90% comes from in the first place.

Inherent in the System: Lestat's maker Magnus warns him several times that he should not drain his victims completely; he should drink enough to sate his thirst and then let them die. The reason for this doesn't become clear until Lestat actually kills his second victim and and begins feeling guilt because he felt the man die instead of just watching it. This is misinterpreted for the Queen of the Damned film, where it is stated that any vampire who drains his or her victim completely will die.

I Hate You, Vampire Dad: Either Trope Maker or Trope Codifier. Fledglings usually wind up despising their creators. Averted by Gabrielle, who, although she finds Lestat too boring for an eternal companion, still loves him and pops up from time to time to help him out. Louis himself wrote the entire first book about despising (or sometimes tolerating/maybe even enjoying) Lestat only for the sequel and the following books having him being very much in love with the Brat Prince, after they finally reconciled after years apart. Armand had gone through an emotional ride with Marius after being turned, but once he had been kidnapped and brainwashed by the Children of Darkness and later left them in a literal blaze of glory, they later reunite and still do deeply love each other and care about one another.

Can't Have Sex, Ever
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_eee99653
comment
Can't Have Sex, Ever: Once you're a vampire, you can't have actual sex. However, everything else practically becomes a substitute. Even the pattern on a carpet can bring rapturous pleasure to one's enhanced senses. Lestat specifically notes that male vampires' "equipment" no longer functions in The Queen of the Damned. This is why one of the first things he does when transferred into a human body in The Tale of the Body Thief is have sex with a woman (without her consent it should be noted). It's also worth mentioning that vampires typically consider feeding upon one another to be almost as intimate as sex is to humans.

Lestat himself survives close to two days in the sun of the Gobi Desert. It hurts like nothing else (forgive me) under the sun, but when it's over, his powers and mobility are unaffected and aside from a massive suntan that will last for decades, the damage is, literally, only skin deep. Maharet regularly walks in the sun every several years in this way to keep up a tan that makes her more lifelike to mortals. The very eldest vampires, when they really consider it, worry that if the sun can't do the job, there may be nothing that can kill them even if they wanted it to.

Lower-Class Lout: Roger describes Terry, his late ex and Theadora's mother, this way in Memnoch the Devil. He found her gaucherie both contemptible and sexy, which is how we got Dora. Another example is Armand's fat, greasy-haired victim from The Vampire Armand. Louis views Lestat as this in Interview, even though most series readers interpret him as the polar opposite.

Creepy Child: Claudia. What makes her particularly unsettling is not only the fact that she's an adult trapped in a child's body, but that she forgot all her memories of being human. As Louis remarks, she does not remember her humanity - she is pure vampire.

Ambiguously Related: In-Universe where Jesse's narration shows that she really isn't sure how "Aunt Maharet" is actually related to her or whether she's just an odd family friend. It's ultimately revealed that Maharet is a Time Abyss vampire and her great-grandmother by roughly 6000 years worth of "great"s.

Martyr Without a Cause
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_fc36853c
comment
Martyr Without a Cause: Armand and Mael both attempt self-immolation in the belief that this will aid the miracle cred of Veronica's veil. Not only is the veil already drawing massive crowds, but it's dubious, at best, that most witnesses would regard a rash of spontaneous combustions as a sign of God's love. Marius lampshades the trope by saying, "What a fool," when he hears about Mael's attempt.

Don't Make Me Destroy You: When it becomes apparent that Lestat won't support her crazy plan, Akasha practically begs him to reconsider, since refusal would have to mean his death.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Akasha wants to create a peaceful world by killing almost all males. On a lesser scale, Mael and his fellow Druids fit this trope, as they kidnap Marius to replace the god of the grove.

Rich Recluse's Realm: In the modern day, Armand lives on Night Island, a luxurious resort community off the Florida coast that he designed and commissioned. It caters to all his wants, from world-class shopping to tourist prey, and operates exlusively overnight. However, he gifted the actual ownership to his reluctant protégé Daniel Molloy in an attempt to woo him.

Stronger with Age
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_ff7c3bb0
comment
Stronger with Age: The psychic force that animates the vampires is gradually changing and adapting their bodies to make them more suitable vessels for its energy. Thus their powers only grow with the passage of time, even if they go through periods of hibernation, starvation or recovery from especially grievous injuries. The process can also be accelerated by drinking blood from older vampires. Akasha increases Lestat's powers by whole orders of magnitude by letting him drink large amounts of her blood.

Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Claudia is an extreme subversion. This frail, doomed, golden-haired child doesn't die gracefully and accept her wings. Instead, she becomes an insatiable killer who delights in tormenting her innocent victims.

Pet the Dog
 The Vampire Chronicles / int_ff7f34c5
comment
Pet the Dog: Most of the vampires do this from time to time. Gabrielle and Lestat, despite their divergent interests, do show considerable loyalty to one another even after their transformations; Louis does his best to care for his "daughter" Claudia; Marius spent part of the fifteenth century sheltering abused boys; and, at one point, Lestat adopts an actual dog (which he does in fact pet). Even Armand went out of his way to save Bianca from becoming Marius's unfortunate lesson in vampire morality.

Abominable Auditorium: The Theatre des Vampires is a theatre troop composed almost entirely of vampires. Under Armand's leadership, it allows the vampires of his coven to murder human victims live on stage without the audience suspecting it to be anything other than a particular lurid horror show.
