To make himself popular, the vampire Lestat takes up rock music and
becomes the singer with an underground group. His allure and
vampiric ways make him a success. Night after night, groupies
flock to his sumptuous residence, providing him with an abundant supply
of the blood he needs to survive. In the course of his rise to
stardom, Lestat meets Jesse Reeves, an English student who is the niece
of the vampire Maharet. Fragile and confused, the young woman
offers herself to Lestat so that she may become like him. For the

the wrath of Marius, his former master...

The brighter side of Franz Kafka
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
