I started reading her books around 1990, and fell in. Started with Interview with the Vampire, then was devastated when I thought there were no more. But, a few days later I came across The Vampire Lestat at my local library! I think Lestat and Queen of the Damned, as well as Witching Hour and Lasher are her master works. However, I kind of stopped reading around 1998, and haven't been able to bring myself to read the most recent editions in the Vampire Chronicles. Actually met her once at a book signing a few towns over. She was very nice, and personalised my copy of Violin (which I thought was sub-par).
