Interview with the Vampire: Claudia's Story
by Ashley Marie Witter
This is simply the story of Claudia after Lestat and Louis turn her to make her their eternal child in the form of a graphic novel. While there is nothing new here to differentiate this from the movie or the book, this does not diminish the beauty and tragedy of this novel in any way.
The artwork of this graphic novel is absolutely exquistite. I found myself lingering on pages just to absorb the haunting beauty of it. The artist depicts Lestat, Louis, and Claudia very well and in a way that makes them pop off the page.
The story itself is one of my favorites. The idea of an eternal child is one that appeals to many I think; the idea that they can stay childlike forever and hold onto their youth. But in the end, the outside doesn't always match the inside. The mind grows and ages, and then, like Claudia, one is trapped in a child sized coffin. Claudia's ambitions and inquisitiveness are alternately tragic and inspiring. Ms. Rice has written her with a delicious duality that depicts the adolescent qualities in contrast to the adult ones with numerous shades of gray in between.
Fans of gorgeous graphic novels, vampires, and the original works (whether it be the book or movie) need to add this to their to read list right now. Because, unlike Claudia, we aren't getting any younger. :)
