I read this as a stand-alone introduction to Anne Rice’s series The Vampire Chronicles . 
Based on the origins of Lestat, it follows his baby vampire days.. I found this very slow paced, it took me so long to finish as I never felt drawn to picking it up. A very reflective vampire novel, with a morally grey character. A little snobby at times.
