//Sorry, my Lestat can’t answer this one 😛 Since I haven’t read many other vampire books or series, I can’t consider what his opinion would be on them!
He’d probably be more into the vampire movies and graphic novels/comics than novels and series. Lestat was into
Sam Spade
comics before it was cool to be a giant nerd! ;D
He does read books, he did a lot of reading to educate himself on the state of the world in 1984, but remember how he felt about Gabrielle’s bookworminess: “I hated the sight of her books; I hated her absorption in them.”

However, I did ask around and got some recs from other ppl about other vampire books/series Lestat might like:
- The Historian (for its worldliness),
- Dracula (for its stereotype-setting content),
- Lord Ruthven (Byronic vampire, Lestat doesn’t catch the irony of John Polidori’s mockery of the foppish, arrogant, and well…Lord-Byron-y vampire)
- Tanith Lee’s vampire series was out when Lestat was playing rockstar
- The Delicate Dependency, for romance and decadence.
- and also A Taste of Blood Wine, also for romance and decadence.
@riverofwhispers:
- Carmilla is good
- Anita Blake and Sookie Stackhouse books, but only the early ones.
- the Rachel Morgan series but again starts out good gets weird later and it’s not about vampires so much as there are vampires in it.
Anyone can reblog/comment and add to this what you think Lestat might like to read! We’ll make this a recc post under #vc adjacent recs.
