Blood Communion

Blood Communion is Lestat's direct account of establishing the Blood Communion among all the world's vampires and how he became Prince of their court, told as a personal address to the vampire community. The central conflict involves Rhoshamandes, a powerful ancient vampire who refuses the vision of vampire civilization Lestat is building and who holds enough destructive power to threaten everything.

Eric Shaw Quinn's narration gives Lestat a voice that honors the character's combination of vanity, passion, and genuine idealism without reducing him to any one of those qualities alone. The novel's fairy-tale structure, explicitly noted in the book's own description, suits the audio format's storytelling tradition, and Quinn's performance captures the intimate address Rice uses throughout.
