Interview with a Vampire

Taking place in New Orleans, Interview with a Vampire is about a vampire named Louis who divulges the story of his life over the course of 200 years.  This story is probably one of the first vampire stories to introduce the vampire that feeds off of animals rather than people, as the character Louis does.  On the other hand his friend Lestat feeds off the local plantation slaves.  The boy (the interviewer) and Louis travel throughout Europe to seek out more vampires, they come across a breed that behave more like Zombies than actually vampires, though once they arrive at Paris they find more of their kind.  The boy eventually wants to become a vampire and begs Louis to grant his wish.  Louis attacks him and vanishes.  Louis becomes furious, he was trying to teach the boy that immortality is more of a curse than a blessing involving nothing more than eternal pain and suffering.
