ABOUT THIS EPISODE
If Interview with the Vampire broke you, these 6 books are what to read next before Season 3 (The Vampire Lestat) premieres June 7 on AMC+.
Each book hits a different part of what makes ITV so consuming:
- toxic immortal romance & gaslighting
- sapphic gothic atmosphere, opulence, and the cost of survival
- Victorian shadows, obsession, and the feeling of being watched
- queer longing, vampire politics, slow burn ménage
- Lestat rockstar energy, 1970s paranormal horror
- camp, humor, cozy paranormal mystery
