The Vampire Companion: The Official Guide to Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles

This is the definitive lore guide for Anne Rice’s universe — a massive, encyclopedia-style reference created in cooperation with Rice herself. The Vampire Companion dives into characters, mythology, settings, themes, history, symbolism, recurring motifs, obscure plot threads, and the gloriously dramatic world of Lestat, Louis, Marius, Armand, Gabrielle, Akasha, and the whole broody immortal crew. Written by Katherine Ramsland, the same author behind the Anne Rice biography Prism of the Night, this guide is packed with entries, timelines, backstories, book-to-book continuity notes, and everything needed to make sense of Rice’s sprawling, gothic lore. It’s a must-have for collectors and a favourite among fans who still think Interview With the Vampire was peak vampire culture (correct). Your copy has the original dust jacket — a big plus for collectors — with some light wear on edges and surfaces but still glossy and sharp. Inside pages look clean, bright, and unmarked. Binding looks tight. Overall: a really solid vintage copy.
