Nicknamed the “Brat Prince”, he's vain, petulant, and has a hedonistic craving for blood. But it's not bloodlust that drives Lestat's unique villainy. It's loneliness. An isolation so desolate that it compels him to condemn others to an eternity of suffering, simply to keep him company. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
