The Queen of the Damned
The Queen of the Damned is a
novel by
Anne Rice. It is the third book of her
Vampire series, in order behind
Interview with the Vampire and
The Vampire Lestat. This novel goes deeply into the origins of vampires and vampirism, which in Rice's view is different from that of earlier writers.
Like Interview, The Queen of the Damned was also made into a film, released in 2002, featuring Aaliyah and directed by Michael Rymer. Most film critics were less than impressed by the film.
