Syntinen, you are missing a lot of big chunks of the story(s) by listening to them on audio cassette.
I use to have a very cool collectors edition set of the first 3 chronicles on audio tape, which came in a fancy-schmancy slide-out case shaped like a coffin. Inside, each book on tape was in its own slip cover. turn them over on one side and they all made claudia. the other side all made Louis. and a card insert was Lestat, signed by Mrs. Rice herself. (this was prior to the film, so it was different models used, and mass produced of course, no authentic sig). Anyway, I treasured them, when I was 15. The point is, I listened to them all many times, after having read the books, and there are many parts that are left out of the cassettes. I can't recall now - some 16 to 17 years later - exactly what parts were left out, but its quite possible the story of "Those Who Must Be Kept" was not included, or passed over briefly, on the audio version [of TVL]. I do remember specifically the part in Interview when Claudia and Louis are scouring Europe looking for other vampires, the only evidence they found was a town that was being preyed upon by an ogre vamp. Its all in the book, but skipped over in the cassette and film.
Anyway - In short, read the books.

Find yourself afraid to see?..." -NIN
