No, you don't have to read all of them in order, but... you absolutely will not understand Queen of the Damned without reading The Vampire Lestat first. It sets up alot of the action that follows, and what it dosen't set up is firmly in the 'Weird Shit' category.
I loved it as a teenage girl. As an adult I refuse to read it again because I know it'll be nowhere near as awesome and I'll find a ton of things that make me go "YeeeeahNO." I'd rather remember it fondly then confirm that going back would have me saying, "What the BLEEP was I thinking? Ew Ew EW."
