Opis książki
Akcja Domu wampira toczy się pod koniec XIX wieku; powieść opowiada historię Armanda, młodego wampira przetrzymywanego w kryjówce tajnego stowarzyszenia. Spędzając czas w więzieniu, Armand wspomina swoje życie - od jego wczesnych dni jako pasterz w Karpatach, po przemianę w wampira. Pomimo swojej miłości do pięknej kobiety o imieniu Solange, Armand nie jest w stanie oprzeć się pokusie wampirzego życia i ostatecznie ulega żądzy krwi. Instynkt krwiopijcy prowadzi go w mroczną podróż po Europie, gdzie spotyka inne wampiry i zostaje wciągnięty w walkę dobra ze złem. Ostatecznie Armand musi zdecydować, czy dalej żyć jako wampir, czy porzucić swoją nieśmiertelność i powrócić do świata ludzi.
Set in the late 1800s, The House of the Vampire tells the story of Armand, a young vampire who is being held captive in a secret society's lair. As he languishes in his prison, Armand recalls his life story, from his early days as a shepherd boy in the Carpathian Mountains to his transformation into a vampire. Despite his love for a beautiful woman named Solange, Armand is unable to resist the lure of the vampire life, and he eventually succumbs to the bloodlust. Blood-sucking instinct leads him on a dark journey through Europe, where he meets other vampires and becomes involved in a battle between good and evil. In the end, Armand must decide whether to continue living as a vampire or to give up his immortality and return to the human world.
