Lestat attempts to convince the coven of vampires that their way of life living under a cemetery and worshiping the Devil is pointless.
The two battle and Armand is startled by the strength of the newly made Lestat who defeats him when Armand himself is hundreds of years old.
Armand becomes devastated that Lestat has quickly destroyed the ideology he has governed his coven by for so long.
Lestat, Gabrielle and Nicki return to the tower left by Magnus and the next night Lestat makes Nicki into a vampire, ignoring the warnings of Gabrielle.
Lestat can no longer hear Nicki's thoughts just the way it happened with Gabrielle. Nicki refuses to speak, so in order to try to draw Nicki out of his silence, Lestat goes back to Paris to look for the violin that Nicki loved so much.
In Paris, Lestat finds four vampires from Armand's coven who ask for his help as Armand has started burning members of the coven. Lestat is reluctant to help but agrees when they ask if they can use his theatre.
Lestat then goes to the flat where Nicki lived and finds Armand there, gathering all the information he can from the flat. Lestat leaves the flat, disgusted with what he has seen and returns to the tower where Gabrielle and Nicki are.
He tells Gabrielle what has happened then he takes her and Nicki with him as he goes to talk to his solicitor, Roget. Lestat and Gabrielle find him at the old theatre and also there, Lestat finds the violin which he gives to Nicki.
Nicki begins playing the violin and soon the other vampires who Lestat gave the theatre to arrive and begin singing and dancing as Nicki plays the violin and it is Nicki who gives it the name " Theatre of the Vampires ".
Nicki tells Lestat that he hates him and then Lestat agrees to leave Nicki and the other vampires at the theatre and let them do what they want with it.
Soon after when Lestat is out one night he sees Armand who acts as though he would be friends with Lestat but when Lestat gets close enough, Armand tries to drink his blood and Lestat in a fury starts beating Armand and only stops when he realizes how helpless and alone Armand is at this moment in time.
He takes Armand back to the tower with the help of Gabrielle. Here Lestat is told the story of how Armand came to be what he is and after the story, Lestat becomes obsessed with the idea of Marius.
Gabrielle manages to convince Armand to join the other vampires at the theatre and Lestat writes the first of his messages to Marius in stone, asking Marius to contact him in some way.
Gabrielle and Lestat travel together for a total of 10 years but soon after leaving Paris Gabrielle starts leaving Lestat on his own for months at a time.
Gabrielle conceals a letter from Paris telling Lestat that his family has all died save his father who waits for him in New Orleans.
Lestat is furious with Gabrielle for hiding this and begins screaming at her to leave. She leaves him whilst they are in Cairo and soon after this Lestat buries himself deep in the ground until Marius comes for him.
Marius gives Lestat some of his ancient blood which gives Lestat back his strength and then takes him to the island where he lives. Akasha and Enkil rest inanimate, appearing as living statues, a sight which horrifies Lestat.
He is then told by Marius his understanding of how vampires came into being and how Marius himself was made.
Marius has to leave Lestat the next night and Lestat decides to go to Akasha and Enkil himself to try and wake them by playing the violin despite Marius' warning not to go into their sanctuary alone.
Marius tells Lestat to leave the island the next night to give Enkil time to calm down and forget about hurting him.
Lestat leaves the island reluctantly and heads for New Orleans to join his dying father. Lestat arrives in New Orleans and soon falls in love with Louis de Pointe du Lac , a young plantation owner who reminds Lestat of Nicolas.
Lestat makes Louis into a vampire and moves into the plantation outside of New Orleans along with his dying father.
Lestat's father's condition worsens but Lestat refuses to spend time with him until he is near death at which point he says he forgives his father after being pressured from Louis.
Lestat tells Louis to kill his father which Louis does reluctantly. The slaves of the plantation gradually get suspicious of Lestat and Louis and are eventually driven out of the plantation, much to Lestat's disgust.
Lestat flees with Louis to the Freniere plantation which is being run by the Freniere's eldest sister as Lestat killed their brother who was its previous operator.
They soon leave the Freniere plantation and move on to New Orleans. With Claudia, Lestat manages to keep Louis with him. Lestat, Louis and Claudia remain together for 60 years until Claudia turns against him and attempts to murder him.
Lestat manages to get out of the swamp and after this, it is assumed that he made a vampire of a young man and all that is known of this man is that he was a musician and Lestat had befriended him sometime before Claudia tried to kill him.
Lestat goes to the flat where Claudia and Louis still reside whereupon he is attacked again and left behind when the flat catches fire. Lestat, scarred from both attempts on his life goes to Paris to seek help from Armand for his powerful old blood, who is still in charge of the Theatre.
Here he discovers that Louis and Claudia are also in Paris. In exchange for his help, Lestat is forced by Armand into admitting it was Claudia who attempted to kill him which leads to Claudia's execution by the vampires of the theatre.
Lestat is then told by Armand that Louis is also dead. Armand drops pretenses by accusing Lestat of ruining his life and pushes Lestat from the top of a high tower, backing out of their arrangement to help Lestat in his weakened state.
Two years pass until Lestat is healed enough to return to America. Lestat spends the rest of the nineteenth century alone in a house in New Orleans, feeding on rats.
Lestat is then visited by Armand several times in the twentieth century who tells him that Louis isn't really dead. Lestat, in general, ignores Armand until one night he pushes him from the top of a roof.
Armand doesn't visit Lestat anymore although Lestat still hears him outside. After a long time in isolation, Lestat finds himself with the desire to become the vampire he once was.
He comes across a band who play in a home near where he was resting called Satan's Night Out. Lestat tells them exactly who he is and is stunned to find they've already heard of him through a novel called Interview with the Vampire.
Lestat reads the novel and becomes more determined to carry on with his plan. He takes charge of the band and renames it to "The Vampire Lestat" which will also be the name of the autobiography he is writing.
It isn't long before the band become popular and a live show is scheduled to take place in San Francisco. Not too long before the day of the concert, Lestat is reunited with Louis who begs him not to go ahead with it as Lestat has angered many of the other vampires by revealing all the secret of their existence to the entire world.
Lestat dismisses this and decides to go ahead as planned and takes Louis to San Francisco with him. The concert goes pretty well until the end where vampires start being killed off by an unseen force.
Lestat and Louis have to run to escape the crowd at the concert. They are saved by Gabrielle who drives them away much to Lestat's dismay as he assumes that the "unseen force" is Marius.
The car is followed by vampires who are annoyed at Lestat causing the car to crash. No one is hurt except Louis' clothes and the vampires who were chasing them also end up burned up by the same unseen force.
Lestat, Gabrielle and Louis discuss it and both Gabrielle and Louis agree that the force they felt seemed wild and uncivilized which does not match the description of Marius.
Gabrielle and Louis go to rest, and Lestat calls to Marius with his mind and Lestat discovers that Akasha has risen and has also killed Enkil , absorbing his power into herself.
Just as the sun rises Akasha comes to Lestat and takes him away. Lestat has dreams of two red-haired twins but forgets it soon after.
Lestat awakens to find himself in the castle where he was born. Akasha tells him that many vampires all over the world have been destroyed but the people he cares for have been spared.
Akasha then teaches him how to use his greater vampiric powers that he now has after drinking from her again. Akasha takes Lestat to the temple that was created by another vampire named Azim to be worshipped by the humans that live there.
Akasha kills this vampire and then proceeds to start killing all the men in the temple. She asks for Lestat's help in this task and although Lestat is very reluctant to do so, he eventually joins in with the massacre and finds that he enjoys it.
Akasha takes Lestat to other cities and repeats the killings but Lestat doesn't join in this time. Lestat tries to reason with Akasha and persuade her against killing almost the entire male population but she doesn't listen to him.
Akasha then goes with Lestat to see the remaining vampires who have gathered with one of the red-haired twins Maharet who he has dreamt about.
Akasha tries to get these vampires who include all the people Lestat loves to side with her and help her in her in the massacre because it will supposedly make the world a better place.
Lestat and the other vampires once more try and reason with her, telling her that this is impossible to do and also an insane thing to try.
Akasha refuses to accept this and when the other twin arrives the sister of Maharet, named Mekare Akasha is killed by the twins.
Lestat then goes with the rest of the vampires to an island bought by Armand the "Night Island" near Miami. Lestat stays in his room for a month writing the story of The Queen of The Damned.
Lestat eventually leaves the island to find Louis who has returned to New Orleans. Lestat finds Louis and then takes him to the Talamasca offices in London, where they meet David Talbot and Lestat gives him his phone number.
Lestat is also being haunted by dreams and visions of Claudia. He visits David to tell him this and despite David's protests, Lestat flies to the desert.
In the desert when the sun is rising Lestat rises as high as he can so that he burns quicker. Lestat however, does not die and after a few nights in the desert, he manages to lift himself into the air and fly to David's home.
Lestat is severely burned and sleeps in David's home for a while until he is almost completely healed. Lestat is now slightly tanned from the ordeal, but not really hurt anymore.
Lestat realizes he is being followed by a man who likes to hand him novels and videotapes for some odd reason. Lestat meets David to talk about this and David points out that the novels and videotapes are all about the same thing: body switching.
Lestat switches bodies with this man, despite warnings from both David and Louis. Lestat finds himself in a human body which he initially finds fantastic until he finds the body he possesses is ill to the point near death.
Lestat tells Gretchen all about who he really is and how he came to be in this mess, but she doesn't really believe it so he promises to come back to her when he is in his own body again and he later does.
Lestat goes to David who teaches him how to take possession of another person's body. Lestat awakens the next night to find David waiting for him.
David tells him that Raglan James is now gone. David also says he wants to be a vampire now. Lestat drinks David's blood only to find that it isn't David at all, but Raglan James in David's body.
Lestat in a deep rage kills him. Lestat says that he doesn't know and that his temper has been flaring a lot these days.
In fact, David is very healthy. He lied both to himself and to David and that is what his latest adventure taught him, that he lies. He then has David drink from him and Lestat withstands the pain as long as he can.
Lestat returns to New Orleans a few nights later to see Louis and to his surprise finds David waiting for him.
They all agree although this doesn't last long because before long Lestat is back in New Orleans on his own. Lestat kills a man called Roger, an evil-doer, only to be haunted by the man's ghost.
Rice said that she and her son Christopher would be developing and executive producing a potential television series based on the novels. There have been three audiobook adaptations of The Vampire Lestat : a abridged version narrated by Michael York ; [14] a unabridged version narrated by Frank Muller ; [15] [16] and a unabridged version narrated by Simon Vance.
The Vampire Lestat debuted at No. Dave Langford reviewed The Golden Horn for White Dwarf 86, and stated that "[Rice is] audacious enough to propound an acceptable 'origin story' for vampirism, and to move from dark old Egyptian mysteries to the extremes of twentieth-century Dionysian ecstasy as Lestat gives his first live rock performance.

They all agree although this doesn't last long because before long Lestat is back in New Orleans on his own. Lestat kills a man called Roger, an evil-doer, only to be haunted by the man's ghost.
Lestat is then being stalked by something that he can't see and eventually confronted by the Devil himself. Memnoch claims his function as the ruler of hell is to redeem evil souls so they can go to heaven.
He takes Lestat back in time to ancient Earth to see the evolution of life. He also takes the vampire to both Heaven and Hell.
Lestat watches all this in complete shock and confusion. Memnoch then takes Lestat to the time of the crucifixion where Christ himself tells Lestat to take the Veil which Veronica wiped his face with.
So Lestat has possession of the Veil with the face of Christ on it. Memnoch in pursuit of Lestat reaches for the Veil but instead pulls out one of Lestat's eyes.
Lestat manages to run away and explains this story to David and Armand who both believe him completely. Lestat also tells the story to Dora, the daughter of Roger.
Lestat also gives her the Veil which she takes to the church which drives many vampires to kill themselves and a suicide attempt by Armand.
Maharet comes and gives Lestat a letter with his eye in from Memnoch thanking Lestat for his services. This drives Lestat mad and has to be restrained by special chains made by Maharet using her own hair which is the only thing that can restrain a vampire.
Lestat is eventually released once he has calmed down. Lestat then takes to resting on the chapel floor in a catatonic state. No one, not even his mother Gabrielle can rouse him from this state.
Lestat remains this way and many vampires come to see him in this state including the vampires who care for him as well as many vampires who've never even met him.
Lestat remains this way until Armand returns alive from his suicide attempt. Armand drinks Lestat's blood and whilst Lestat himself doesn't respond something pushes Armand away.
Lestat is eventually awakened by Sybelle, Marius' fledgling and gift to Armand, playing the piano. After this Lestat helps Armand in ridding New Orleans of the many vampires who came to see him by burning them with his mind.
Lestat still falls into his unconscious state for most of the time, while sometimes Louis reads to him, or with music playing. Lestat sometimes sleeps at the flat in the Rue Royale which David and Louis also live in now.
Lestat eventually is awakened properly to heal Louis who tried to kill himself. Lestat heals Louis with the help of David and Louis' new fledgling, Merrick Mayfair who is also a witch and member of the Talamasca.
Lestat receives a letter asking that Merrick and David be returned to the Talamasca which of course Lestat says will never happen and wishes to rebel against The Talamasca, but David advises him not to.
Lestat pulls Quinn away and warns Stirling Oliver and all other members of the Talamasca to stay away from the vampires. When Stirling leaves, Lestat turns his attention to Quinn, a young vampire who in fact broke into his home.
Quinn explains that he is seeking Lestat's help with a spirit who has followed him since birth but who has recently become violent towards Quinn.
Lestat takes Quinn hunting where they kill two women. In order to save her, Lestat transforms her into a vampire as well. The pair run afoul of the Children of Darkness, an ancient coven of devil-worshipping vampires led by Armand , who attack them and kidnap Nicolas to punish them for breaking vampire law.
Lestat and Gabrielle rescue Nicolas. After a heated debate with Armand, Lestat causes the coven to dissolve by denouncing the old ways and encouraging the cultists to modernize.
Lestat later turns Nicolas into a vampire, but the transformation drives him mad, and his resentment of Lestat quickly destroys their friendship.
Severely depressed, Nicolas later commits suicide by exposing himself to the sun. Armand "shows" Lestat the history of how he was made by the powerful vampire Marius de Romanus.
Compelled by the idea of Marius, Lestat leaves markings carved into rock in numerous places while traveling with Gabrielle, hoping that one day, Marius will see them and find Lestat.
Whilst in Egypt , abandoned by Gabrielle, Lestat sleeps in the ground after being burned by the sun. He is recovered by Marius and is taken to his secret Mediterranean island.
Once Marius has given his warning to Lestat not to go see them again, and leaves on a short outing, Lestat takes Nicolas's old violin and plays for the King and Queen, awakening them.
Akasha feeds from Lestat as Lestat feeds from her. Then, Enkil, furious at the intrusion, attacks and nearly kills Lestat, who is saved by Marius and then sent away.
The Vampire Lestat was released on October 31, We learn that they cry tears of blood, that they're capable of reading other people's minds, that they can be destroyed by fire and sunlight.
We learn that 'no vampire may ever destroy another vampire, except that the coven master has the power of life and death over all of his flock'; and we learn that 'no vampire shall ever reveal his true nature to a mortal and allow that mortal to live'.
The Vampire Lestat was adapted into a comic and released as a part miniseries by Innovation Comics in and In the entire series was published as a graphic novel by Ballantine.
The film was seen to be a critical failure, and disappointed some viewers. Rice herself has dismissed the film. On her Facebook page, any time the subject is brought up, she repeatedly comments that The Queen of the Damned film is not something she can understand or embrace, that she encouraged them not to do the film and that it hurt her to see her work "mutilated" the way it was.
The novel formed the basis for the short-lived Broadway show Lestat. The musical, which was composed by Elton John and Bernie Taupin and written by Linda Woolverton, had a pre-Broadway tryout in California in late and ran for a total of 33 previews and 39 official performances at the Palace Theater in New York.
In November , Rice announced on Facebook that the rights to her novels were reverted back to her despite earlier plans for other adaptations.
Rice said that she and her son Christopher would be developing and executive producing a potential television series based on the novels.
There have been three audiobook adaptations of The Vampire Lestat : a abridged version narrated by Michael York ; [14] a unabridged version narrated by Frank Muller ; [15] [16] and a unabridged version narrated by Simon Vance.
The Vampire Lestat debuted at No. Dave Langford reviewed The Golden Horn for White Dwarf 86, and stated that "[Rice is] audacious enough to propound an acceptable 'origin story' for vampirism, and to move from dark old Egyptian mysteries to the extremes of twentieth-century Dionysian ecstasy as Lestat gives his first live rock performance.
