Both names in this passage seem familiar and yet the only book about vampires I ever read was Brahm Stoker's Dracula. Was this adapted into a movie?

If I'm not mistaken, this is the opening to Interview with the Vampire, which was turned into a movie with Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise.

The name Lestat was also used in the film Queen of the Damned for the main vampire protagonist IIRC.

Wasn't it Interview with the Vampire? With Tom Cruise, Christian Slater, Brad Pitt and Antonio Banderas... And a super young Kirsten Dunst.

On top of the two movies and the AMC+ show, HBO also put out a reboot series of Interview With the Vampire fairly recently as well.

It's one of the later books, but yes, same character as the films.

It's "The Tale of the Body Thief", book 4 of the "Vampire Chronicles.
But really should start with book one (interview with a vampire).

Thanks for the correction. And now that you mention it, Interview was set in New Orleans and not Miami, right?

The Vampire Chronicles is an extensive series. I think The Body Thief was mostly in Miami.
