Resentful of the perfunctory portrayal in the trashy bestseller "Interview with the Vampire," the Vampire Lestat sets his story straight in a way only the Vampire Lestat can - by starting a band and going on tour. Gabriella. Nicholas. Magnus. Marius. Those Who Must Be Kept. They join Louis, Armand, Molloy, Sam, Raglan, Fareed and others we can't tell you about yet on a sexy pilgrimage across space, time and trauma. No Auto-Tuning. No Trigger Warnings. All Feels Amplified.
