The Tale of the Body Thief was the first story in the Vampire Chronicles to step outside the formula that Rice has created rather than witnessing a slow loss of humanity, we experience the shock and horror of a vampire thrust back into humanity. Let’s be honest after seeing the Brat Prince in action for three novels, watching Lestat flounder in his new-found human body was just TOO satisfying. For me, Raglan James and the Tale of the Body Thief always held much more interest. Although I won’t deny that Interview with the Vampire was the first Rice novel to fall into my hands, the story that reformed my understanding of vampires as a species, it’s not the story that stands out most. The Vampire Chronicles are so famous now that it seems almost cliché to include Anne Rice on this list, but I’ve adored her elegant style and Gothic-style stories since I was a little girl. #7 – Tale of the Body Thief, by Anne Rice
