NATIONAL BESTSELLER • In another feat of hypnotic storytelling, Anne Rice continues the extraordinary Vampire Chronicles that began with the now classic Interview with the Vampire and continued with The Vampire Lestat and The Queen of the Damned.

Lestat speaks.  Vampire-hero, enchanter, seducer of mortals.  For centuries he has been a courted prince in the dark and flourishing universe of the living dead. Lestat is alone.  And suddenly all his vampire rationale--everything he has come to believe and feel safe with--is called into question. In his overwhelming need to destroy his doubts and his loneliness, Lestat embarks on the most dangerous enterprise he has undertaken in all the danger-haunted years of his long existence.

The Tale of the Body Thief is told with the unique—and mesmerizing—passion, power, color, and invention that distinguish the novels of Anne Rice. Paranormal Sagas Vampires Fantasy Suspense Fiction Horror Psychological Genre Fiction Scary

I read this when it first came out in 1992 and forgot how amazing it is.
it is in some ways my favorite of the chronicles but I say that every time I finish re-reading or liatening to one.
of course there's a difference between reading it in college in the 90s in my early 20s and having Simon Vance read it to me now in my late 40s. but it still gives me the same feeling of rich immersion that it always had.
