Book Summary:
A vampire called Louis de Pointe du Lac narrates his lived experiences to a young interviewer in San Francisco in the late twentieth century. In1791, Louis, a self-indulgent 25-year-old, owns property near New Orleans. Louis mourns the loss of his spiritual younger brother, Paul, and holds himself responsible for his death.
Louis engages in self-destructive actions until he is bitten by Lestat, a vampire. In return for a place to live for himself and his old, blind father, Lestat promises to convert Louis into a vampire. Louis permits himself to be transformed, fascinated by Lestat and thinking immortality to be properly self-destructive and instantly sees all the beauty and magic of his prior human life.
Louis and Lestat, who live on the Pointe du Lac plantation, do not get along. Louis is torn between his vampire nature and his need to live without human blood. He doesn't want to kill humans because of the absolute violent act, yet he can't live without it. Lestat, on the other hand, is cruel and nasty, and he enjoys killing.
Louis hates Lestat's refusal to divulge any information about his origins or the background of vampires with him. When the slaves on the farm become suspicious of Louis and Lestat's strange behavior, Louis and Lestat are forced to kill them and burn the property down. They seek shelter for the night in the property of Babette Freniere, a woman Louis admires and has assisted in the past. Babette considers them like devils, making Louis fearful of his own wicked essence once more.
Louis and Lestat go to New Orleans, where Lestat encourages Louis to appreciate his vampire nature, pointing out that vampires can only find some peace by consuming human blood. Louis preys on Claudia, a lovely five-year-old orphan. Lestat horrifyingly transforms Claudia into a little vampire to permanently bind Louis to him.
For over three-quarters of a century, they have lived as a regular family. Claudia now sees the limitations of her eternal youth, and she despises Lestat for it. She recognizes herself as a vampire after a brief period as a human, and she demands that Lestat explain her origins.
She resolves to release them both from Lestat's influence, despite her anger at Louis for his involvement in freezing her tiny life. Claudia leads Lestat into swallowing poisoned blood and attempts to murder him, despite Louis' pleas. But, just as Louis and Claudia are planning a trip to Eastern Europe to learn more about their ancestors, Lestat reappears. Their house burns down as the vampire’s battle. Louis and Claudia flee to their ship, believing that Lestat would die at long last.
When Louis and Claudia arrive in Eastern Europe, they are both shocked to see scared, superstitious people as well as mindless, vampire-like vampires. These dumb paranormal creatures, as well as the people who dread them, have no knowledge to share.
Louis and Claudia fly to Paris, where they uncover a coven of vampires running a human-only theatre, where they conduct genuine feedings on stage in front of an unsuspecting audience. Armand, the group's nominal leader, takes an immediate liking to Louis, and Louis sees in Armand the mix of expertise and authority that may help him relax.
Despite Armand's hopes, another vampire, Santiago, poses a threat. The vampire society has been abuzz with rumors that Louis and Claudia murdered their creator. Santiago will be given orders to shoot Louis and Claudia if he can show they are murderers.

Claudia is desperate as a result of her anxiety, as well as Armand's knowledge that he wants Louis to himself. She asks that Louis transform Madeleine, a widowed doll maker, into a vampire companion. If Louis abandons her for Armand, she must enlist the help of another vampire to look after her.
Although Louis has a moral code that prohibits the birth of new vampires, his love for Claudia compels him to follow her desires. As Louis fantasizes about escaping his luxurious life with Claudia to visit Armand, Santiago and the other vampires abduct them with the assistance of the recently arrived Lestat.

Louis is buried in a coffin behind a brick wall by the vampires. The next night, Armand comes to his rescue. Louis runs back to the theatre, determined to save Claudia, but it is too late: Claudia and Madeleine have been burnt to death.
As the vampire's sleep, Louis needs to take action against them, torching their theatre. Louis, enraged and devastated, attempts to think that he and Armand can still love one other. For the following century, they tour the world gazing at magnificent art, but Louis becomes disconnected from any human emotion.
Even going to New Orleans and seeing Lestat, weak and decaying, fails to reignite Louis's affection for him. Because Armand killed Claudia, he blames himself for ruining what he loved most about Louis. He departs from Louis. Louis, alone, attempts one last opportunity to redeem himself by telling a cautionary tale about his life. The interviewer asks Louis to turn him into a vampire, which backfires. Louis bites the child and abandons him to his destiny, feeling like a failure. The youngster wakes up and goes off to find Lestat in New Orleans.
