Queen of the Damned
by Anne Rice
If you’ve ever wondered where all the creepy undead roaming the earth in Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles stem from, you’ll find out in this book. This is the third installment in that series, and one of the best ones, which features the same characters and a very exciting plot.
In this amazing story, mischievous vampire Lestat, the modern day rock star, interrupts the queen of the damned’s 6,000 year snooze and she wakes up pretty darn grumpy. In fact, she’s so peeved about her sleep being disrupted and about all the male violence that she just might have to kill a whole bunch of people like, oh, about 90% of the world’s (human) men. She has come to the conclusion that the only way to achieve world peace is by eliminating most of earth’s males; those rotten, good-for-nothing, war-loving, war-inducing creatures that oppress and persecute women. The world would be a better place, she argues, if it’s ruled by women who are nurturers by nature. Hmmm...
How far does she get? And what is the response of the other vampires when she shares her plan of extermination? You don’t expect me to tell you, do you? Read the book and find out! You’re going to love this one.
(Incidentally, there is a movie made about this book. But it stinks. Badly. Don’t watch it. Or at least, don’t watch it before reading this book. And if you’ve had the misfortune of watching it first, read this book so you can erase the ‘bleh’ feeling the film left you with.)
