Interview with the Vampire is a 1976 novel by Anne Rice that was adapted into a 1994 film Interview with the Vampire: The Vampire Chronicles.
The story is about a 200 year-old vampire named Louis telling his story to a reporter who is simple called "the boy". Louis tells the boy about his early life living on a plantation and how a vampire named Lestat eventually met and turned him. Louis is repulsed by Lestat and his blatant disregard for human life (Lestat eventually turns a 6 year-old-girl named Claudia in an attempt to guilt Louis into staying with him). Claudia and Louis eventually leave Lestat and begin a life together as companions. Telling the boy of one last encounter with Lestat in New Orleans in the 1920s, Louis ends his tale; after 200 years, he is weary of immortality and of all the pain and suffering to which he has had to bear witness. The boy, however, seeing only the great powers granted to a vampire, begs to be made into a vampire himself. Angry that his interviewer learned nothing from his story, Louis refuses, attacking the boy and vanishing without a trace.
