Rice, A. (1988). The Queen of the Damned, The Vampire Chronicles Vol. 3. New York: Ballantine Books, A division of Random House.
Undead aficionados will find Anne Rice delivers historical accuracy, rich characters, and a greater depth of philosophical thought then other vampire tales (YA and adult combined). Anne Rice’s style appeals to the vampire fan as well as the history fan.
In Queen of the Damned, Lestat uses his mental superiority (much to the disdain of frustrated vampires everywhere) and his rock star status to face off with the Queen of the Undead herself and in the process draws out vampires all around the world. Will Lestat align himself with the Queen or destroy her? Or will he be destroyed in the process? In the third book of The Vampire Chronicles, Rice delivers a deeper look into her vampire lineage.
Advanced violence makes this a book for the more sophisticated teen.
Queen of the Damned was made into a movie in 2002 by combining both the Vampire Lestat & Queen of the Damned. Titled: Queen of the Damned. Note: It is not a complete translation given the combination of two novels.
