La mejor historia de vampiros jamás escrita, después de Drácula. Un Clásico indiscutible de la fantasía oscura.

El tiempo es ahora. Estamos en una pequeña habitación con el vampiro, cara a cara, mientras habla, mientras derrama las confesiones hipnóticas, impactantes, conmovedoras y cargadas de erotismo de sus primeros doscientos años como uno de los muertos vivientes. . .

Habla en voz baja, llanamente, incluso gentilmente. . . llevándonos de regreso a la noche en que dejó la existencia humana como heredero - joven, romántico, cultivado - de una gran plantación de Luisiana, y fue inducido por el radiante y siniestro Lestat a la otra vida, la "interminable". . . aprendiendo primero a alimentarse de la sangre de gallos y ratas atrapados en las callejeras de Nueva Orleans, luego de la sangre de seres humanos. . . a los años en que, alejándose de sus últimos lazos humanos bajo la tutela del odiado pero necesario Lestat, abrazó paulatinamente los hábitos, los apetitos, los sentimientos del vampirismo: el desapego, la voluntad endurecida, los placeres sensuales "superiores".

Nos lleva de regreso al momento crucial en una calle oscura de Nueva Orleans cuando encuentra a la exquisita niña perdida Claudia, que no quiere lastimarla sino consolarla, luchando contra el último residuo de sentimiento humano dentro de él. . . Vemos cómo Claudia a su vez se convierte en vampiro -toda su pasión e inteligencia atrapadas para siempre en el cuerpo de un niño pequeño- y cómo llegan a su alianza apasionada y peligrosa, su vida de opulencia en el Barrio Francés: delicadas estatuas griegas, Jarrones chinos, candelabros de cristal, un mayordomo, una criada, una ninfa de piedra en el patio del jardín escondido. . . la noche se convierte en noche con sus sentidos vampíricos intensificados ante la belleza del mundo, sedientos de la belleza de la muerte: un flujo constante de extraños vulnerables esperándolos abajo. . . Los vemos unidos contra el envidioso y peligroso Lestat, embarcándose en una peligrosa búsqueda por Europa de otros como ellos, desesperados por descubrir el mundo al que pertenecen, las formas de supervivencia, saber qué son y por qué, de dónde vienen. cuál puede ser su futuro. . .

Los seguimos por Austria y Transilvania, encontrándonos con los de su especie en formas más allá de su imaginación más salvaje. . . a París, donde los pasos detrás de ellos, al ritmo exacto de los suyos, los conducen hasta las puertas del Théâtre des Vampires, el bello, lascivo y febril teatro de mímica cuyos carteles de vampiros horribles enmascaran y revelan a la vez el horror dentro . . . a su encuentro con el inquietantemente magnético Armand, quien los lleva, por fin, a la intimidad con toda una brillante y decadente sociedad de vampiros, una intimidad que se convierte en terror repentino cuando se ven obligados a enfrentarse a lo que temieron y huyeron. . .

En su flujo incesante de narraciones fascinantes, de peligro y huida, de lealtad y traición, Entrevista con el vampiro da testimonio de una imaginación literaria de primer orden.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The time is now.

We are in a small room with the vampire, face to face, as he speaks--as he pours out the hypnotic, shocking, moving, and erotically charged confessions of his first two hundred years as one of the living dead. . .

He speaks quietly, plainly, even gently . . . carrying us back to the night when he departed human existence as heir--young, romantic, cultivated--to a great Louisiana plantation, and was inducted by the radiant and sinister Lestat into the other, the "endless," life . . . learning first to sustain himself on the blood of cocks and rats caught in the raffish streets of New Orleans, then on the blood of human beings . . . to the years when, moving away from his final human ties under the tutelage of the hated yet necessary Lestat, he gradually embraces the habits, hungers, feelings of vampirism: the detachment, the hardened will, the "superior" sensual pleasures.
He carries us back to the crucial moment in a dark New Orleans street when he finds the exquisite lost young child Claudia, wanting not to hurt but to comfort her, struggling against the last residue of human feeling within him . . .

We see how Claudia in turn is made a vampire--all her passion and intelligence trapped forever in the body of a small child--and how they arrive at their passionate and dangerous alliance, their French Quarter life of opulence: delicate Grecian statues, Chinese vases, crystal chandeliers, a butler, a maid, a stone nymph in the hidden garden court . . . night curving into night with their vampire senses heightened to the beauty of the world, thirsting for the beauty of death--a constant stream of vulnerable strangers awaiting them below . . .

We see them joined against the envious, dangerous Lestat, embarking on a perilous search across Europe for others like themselves, desperate to discover the world they belong to, the ways of survival, to know what they are and why, where they came from, what their future can be . . .

We follow them across Austria and Transylvania, encountering their kind in forms beyond their wildest imagining . . . to Paris, where footsteps behind them, in exact rhythm with their own, steer them to the doors of the Théâtre des Vampires--the beautiful, lewd, and febrile mime theatre whose posters of penny-dreadful vampires at once mask and reveal the horror within . . . to their meeting with the eerily magnetic Armand, who brings them, at last, into intimacy with a whole brilliant and decadent society of vampires, an intimacy that becomes sudden terror when they are compelled to confront what they have feared and fled . . .

In its unceasing flow of spellbinding storytelling, of danger and flight, of loyalty and treachery, Interview with the Vampire bears witness of a literary imagination of the first order.

Well done!
Format: Kindle
Young, bloodied, sleep deprived and starving, not to mention being surrounded by an army of hungry sharks! It seems almost unimaginable that a sixteen-year-old could experience such a harrowing ordeal and live to tell about it. The story of young Josh, a baseball loving kid from San Antonio, Texas, who forges his mothers signature in order to join the Navy, takes place in 1945 near the end of WWII aboard the USS Indianapolis. After being struck by a Japanese torpedo, the mighty Naval ship sinks, thrusting the survivors into an unforgiving ocean for five harrowing days. The story is fast-paced with lots of action without being overly graphic and is the perfect for middle-schoolers with a penchant for excitement! There's also a great friendship angle which was really great to see especially since the boy Josh befriends (Lee) is of Japanese decent. At the time Josh bears a lot of resentment towards the Japanese since his father was killed when the Japanese bombed Pear Harbor so I think this offers an excellent 'teaching moment' for kids today. The book is chock-full of numerous interesting facts about the USS Indianapolis which I hadn't known before reading the book. Of note, it states that the sinking of the USS Indianapolis resulted in the largest number of shark attacks on humans in history, which I think is a little known and very interesting fact! Well done!

A fast paced and exciting read
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed this book about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis by a Japanese submarine towards the end of World War II. The story is told through the eyes of a sixteen year old boy, Josh, who lied about his age on his enlistment application and forged his mother's signature. He was determined to do his bit for the American war effort and revenge the death of his father during the attack on Pearl Harbour. When the USS Indianapolis was torpedoed, the survivors, about three quarters of the crew, were flung into the ocean without any survival equipment. Many of them did not even have life jackets and were burned by the fire that had broken out on board the ship or injured when they were swept overboard. The scent of urine and blood soon attracts sharks, lots of sharks, and the survivors fear that they have survived the sinking of the ship only to become food for these huge and vicious fish. The story is short and sharp and I think middle school and young teenage boys will really enjoy it. The author shares some details of the attack and sinking of the ship, without making it to graphic and over whelming for younger readers. Boys, particularly, will relate to the action packed excitement of the attack and also to Josh's thoughts about his mother and younger brother back home. The terrible hardship of being in the ocean for a few days, without food or water, the temptation to drink sea water to alleviate the dreadful thirst and the savage behavior of some of the other survivors are all well told but not with so much detail that younger readers will become overwhelmed or bored. Josh's relationship with another young survivor, Lee, who is of Japanese extraction is also most interesting and contains a good message of delving deeper into relationships and people that merely their heritage and looks.

RAW AND REAL
Format: Kindle
A powerful story of a historical adventure narrated through the eyes of a sixteen-year-old survivor. Josh enlisted with forged papers to avenge the death of his father at Pearl Harbor. He is straight out of boot camp serving on the USS Indianapolis when the battleship is struck by a Japanese torpedo. He struggles to escape the burning ship, but that is just the beginning of his troubles. No help is in sight; sharks infest the waters, and the survivors begin to turn against each other. This book is a powerful story filled with raw emotions, adventure, and history. The authors provide readers with an action-packed tale filled with interesting facts about sharks and military history. It contains actual photographs, maps, and hand-drawn illustrations. The book is little more than one hundred pages. Reluctant readers can easily navigate the short chapters with graphics. Targeted for middle grades but just as appealing to young adult and adult audiences.

Approved by my 8 year old!
Format: Paperback
My 8 yr old son read it on his own. He liked it but some parts were a bit gross and scary for him. It is along the lines of the I Survived books. He said it was a good story because it was based on real life even though some of the parts were a little scary.
