It’s time to admit that my girl Lestat is on hold

¿y ahora como actúo normal? ¿cómo voy por la vida disimulando lo obsesionada que estoy con lestat?

Reading The Vampire Lestat much of the questions i had for Interview With the Vampire gets answered. I can't wait to read the rest of The Vampire Chronicles this year. Great read, 4 stars :)

Finished this—and I’m not joking—fifteen minutes before my best friend’s wedding. What a wild ride. Anne Rice you crazy crazy gal. Genuinely I think she’s one of the best writers of the past 100 years. NEED to put her inside a jar with Mary Shelley and shake them up to see what happens.

the philosophical conversations in tandem with the religious debates added much needed context to the immortal universe and the characters within it. i’ve grown to love lestat as a character because of his contradictory perspective on human life and how reflective he truly is.
