I can’t believe Anne Rice essentially authorized fan fiction of her work.
As others are said, the style is great: romantic manga style, the only colors for blood and fire.

Beautifully illustrated this is Claudia's story from her POV. Nothing new here but I'm a die hard Claudia fan (she's my favorite Rice vampire) so I couldn't help but love it and mourn for Claudia all over again.

Beautiful, just beautiful!
This is a graphic novel adaptation of Anne Rice's "Interview with the Vampire" retold in Claudia's perspective. The story takes place when a young orphan girl, Claudia, is turned immortal by a vampire named Lestat. Now having been turned she is forced to live her new life with her rich vampire fathers, Lestat and Louis. The story continues telling us about her new life as a vampire and the struggles that she faces, such as finding out that she will never physically grow no matter how old she gets.
Ashley Marie Witter gives a beautiful monochromatic retelling to Anne's original book Interview with the Vampire. Throughout the graphics we are offered a antique monotone of sepia filter with the occasional filter of deep crimson color for the blood.
I've been wanting to read this since I stumbled across samples of the graphics on the internet years ago, but at the time the book was new and pretty expensive considering the fact that I don't read graphic novels often, ever actually. But this specific one always caught my eyes so I recently had the chance to pick it up for about half the price it was a few years ago. I recently read Interview with the Vampire, which I loved, so I thought I might give the graphic novel a chance to get a better understanding through Claudia's perspective, while it's still fresh on the brain. I must say the graphic novel was pretty accurate in comparison to the original novel, most of the time it was word for word of the important key parts from the original book, with the added voice and thoughts of Claudia. When it wasn't word for word or new material added I could tell it immediately because some of the things added wasn't words Anne herself would use but it wasn't a big deal to where I disliked it. I thought it was beautiful, but is it packed with new details? No.. In fact, my opinion is it doesn't really add anything new that you couldn't live without. I think it's no substitute for the original and should be read after the original novel or else you would miss out on important details. Maybe since I'm not much of a graphic novel lover, but my opinion is that it is basically a one time read and the rest is just to admire the beauty of it or to complete your Anne Rice collection. :)
I think if you're a fan of Anne Rice and graphic novels this is just the right book for you!

This doesn't add anything new to the original story, but it's a fast-paced read and the art is beautiful. I've been contemplating picking up and finishing the series for ages, and I think this helped aid in my decision.
I absolutely love this adaption of interview with a vampire, I always wanted to hear the story from Claudia's point of view, thank you for this :) It is a graphic novel, so if you don't like comics then its not for you, though I think you would be missing out personally on a good book!
So this is Interview with the Vampire: Manga Edition. Which is fine, it's just... exactly the same as the book and movie except drawn. Which is fine! But it doesn't tell you anything new about Claudia. It's just... you know... Claudia's bit in the book. Drawn. Really well! But I actually was wanting some ah... fanfiction? I guess.

Claudia and Louis were always my favorites. Nothing really new from the original book here but still seeing it more from Claudia's point of view than Lestat or Louis.
