When it comes to vampire stories, there are a few that have stood the test of time. One of those is Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice, which was adapted into the 1990s movie starring Brad Pittand Tom Cruise. The latest AMC series has proved that people still want more from this universe, with the third season, The Vampire Lestat, coming soon.
However, there is still a lot of love for the original novel, and it turned 50 on April 12, 2026. While the 50th anniversary edition hasn’t been printed in time for the exact date, the timing is perfect. The new novel will be published on October 6, 2026, and there are some exciting additions.
A New Foreword and Afterword for ‘Interview with the Vampire’
There’s a new foreword attached to the novel, written by Shadow and Bone author Leigh Bardugo. There aren’t any details about what to expect just yet. Bardugo has recently made headlines due to her new Six of Crows short story, which is a collection of letters from Ketterdem to join in with a detective to solve a mystery.
It’s not just a new foreword to enjoy, though. Christopher Rice, Anne’s son who is an accomplished author in his own right, has written the afterword. That’s sure to make the deluxe edition worth getting.
Not enough to convince you to get it just yet? How about some bonus never-before-seen bonus pages? Not everything Rice wrote made it to her novel, and this 50th anniversary edition brings pages from her original manuscript to the story.

The entire edition has been given a makeover. One thing that is sure to stand out is the blood-red edges on the book. Those pages are enclosed in a black hard cover with foil prints. The backs also have our favorite characters printed in the gold foil, bringing the heart of the story to life.
We also can’t overlook the beautiful artwork on the inside of the front and back pages. The black, gold, and red swirls are entrancing ways to fall in love with this iconic horror story once more.
The 50th anniversary edition will be available on October 6, 2026, and now is the time to pre-order to make sure you’re not too late!
