Interview with the Vampire Nominated for Vampire Novel of the Century
Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice is one of the six shortlisted books nominated for the Bram Stoker Vampire Novel of the Century Award.
The prize is coordinated by the Horror Writers’ Association (HWA), in conjunction with the Bram Stoker Family Estate, and will be awarded in March to coincide with the centenary of Bram Stoker‘s death.
And Anne Rice‘s tale of Louis and Lestat is in the running, alongside Salem’s Lot by Stephen King, I Am Legend by Richard Matheson, The Soft Whisper of the Dead by Charles L. Grant, Anno Dracula by Kim Newman and Hotel Transylvania by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro.
