Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice
Interview with the Vampire is the first book in the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. In this book, we have our main character, Louis de Pointe du Lac, as well as Lestat and Claudia. Without too many spoilers, the book starts off with Louis on a plantation and Lestat turns him into a vampire in order to hopefully gain control of his wealth and property.
After a while, Louis and Lestat travel to New Orleans, where they live for many years, and eventually add Claudia into the mix. After more time passes, Louis and Claudia head to Europe to find a society of vampires to figure out what it means to be a vampire and have immortal life.
