| Public details: Having suffered a tremendous personal loss, an 18th-century Louisiana plantation owner named Louis Pointe du Lac descends into an alcoholic stupor. At his emotional nadir, he is confronted by a charismatic and powerful vampire who chooses Louis to be his fledgling. The two prey on innocents, give their "dark gift" to a young girl, and seek out others of their kind in Paris. In this telling of the story, the vampire transforms from a hideous predator into a highly sympathetic, seductive, and all-too-human figure. The book, published in 1976, remains a treasured masterpiece, a rare work that blends a childlike fascination for the supernatural with a profound vision of the human condition. |
