Anne Rice - QUEEN OF THE DAMNED - signed - First 1st Edition - 1988

Description: A first edition of Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned with her signature is notable for collectors for several reasons: Author Signature: Anne Rice’s signed books are particularly valued since she’s a highly regarded figure in Gothic literature. Her autograph, especially on first editions, adds significant collectible value. Cultural Impact: Queen of the Damned is the third book in The Vampire Chronicles series, which is hugely influential in the vampire fiction genre. This book’s portrayal of vampires has inspired many adaptations and has a loyal fan base, making signed first editions desirable. First Edition Status: First editions are inherently more valuable, especially for popular authors like Anne Rice. Collectors prioritize first printings due to their limited availability and the connection they have to the original publication. Condition and Cover Art: First editions with their original dust jackets in good condition are particularly prized. The original cover art often appeals to collectors as it reflects the aesthetics of the time and the publisher's initial vision for the book. Historical Significance: Published in 1988, Queen of the Damned expanded on themes from the first two books (Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat), cementing Anne Rice’s role in reshaping the vampire myth. Collectors value this book as part of the historical development of contemporary vampire lore. A signed first edition in good condition can fetch a high price on the collector’s market, especially as Anne Rice’s passing in 2021 has heightened interest in her work.
