So i have loved the movie ever since i was a kid and decided to read the novel just to see for myself how much Anne had changed in the movie and i want to read all the novels in this series and i decided to start the day i did because of the passing of Anne Rice.

I have to say that i actually loved this novel. Was it the best masterpiece i've ever read before? No, but it wasn't that far off either in my opinion. It's hard to explain exactly what it was that captivated me when reading this book. I have to say that i was a bit surprised about how much the movie actually deviated from the original book, but it made me love it more.

The characters are very interesting, at times horrific, but at the same time so relatable. It's very fascinating, but at the same time heartbreaking when knowing what the inspiration for Claudia was. In my opinion this book is very beautiful and scenic, making me excited for reading the rest of them.

I really liked this. The only reason I knocked off one star is that there were a few stories here that i thought was a bit meh, but there was a lot of great stories here otherwise. There's a lot of originality in this short story collection and I really reccomend it to all vampire fans out there.
