The Queen of the Damned (1988) is a vampire novel by American writer Anne Rice, the third in her The Vampire Chronicles series. It follows Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat. This novel is a continuation of the story that ends in a cliffhanger in The Vampire Lestat and explores the rich history and mythology of the origin of the vampires, which dates back to Ancient Egypt. In March 2014, a new installment of Rice's series was announced, titled Prince Lestat, which Rice's son, novelist Christopher Rice, called "a true sequel to The Queen of the Damned". A film based mostly on The Queen of the Damned was released in 2002. The Interview with the Vampire television series is adapting the book for its fourth season under the name of Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned.
