The Vampire Lestat

A detailed Summary of The Vampire Lestat


Publisher: Ballantine Books Fiction

A troubled young man named Lestat lives with, mother, father, and two older brothers in pre-revolutionary France. He has a special bond with his mother, Gabrielle. They are kindred spirits. Lestat runs off to Paris with his new best friend, Nicki. Nicki is an extremely talented violinist, but was forbidden by his father to pursue it as a career. One night, Lestat is kidnapped and turned into a vampire. His maker, a vampire who was turned at an old age, immediately destroys himself after giving a brief, vague explanation of what he has just done to him.

Lestat is soon confronted by Armand, the leader of a satanic vampire coven that lives by strict codes, rituals, and beliefs. Armand accuses Lestat of being a blasphe


My favorite part of the book is when Lestat wakes up in the 1980s and becomes the lead singer of a metal band. His supernatural voice and dark poetry land the band in super-stardom, where Lestat proclaims to the world that he is a vampire, a big 'NO NO' in the vampire culture.

As for the other vampires of the world, they're pissed. The first rule all vampires must follow is to never let a mortal know what you are, unless you are going to kill them or make them into a vampire as well. The vampires know Lestat will not stop this recklessness, and are prepared to stop him with force.
