so-soThis was a re-read for me about 20 years later. Didn‘t like it as much as when I was a teenager. It felt all over the place. Seemed like Rice was backtracking with Lestat‘s character as he seemed very different here and the rest of the series than in Interview with the Vampire. The history of the Theater of the Vampires makes more sense. Relationship with his mom after he makes her a vampire is super weird. Marius‘ story in here was 70 pages.
1. Why yes, I certainly have. But not for trick-or-treaters 😂
2. Emo vampire adventures

Tonight‘s supper & book. It‘s been 19 years since I last read MEMNOCH THE DEVIL, and I‘m delighted out of my mind because THAT‘S LONG ENOUGH THAT I‘VE FORGOTTEN STUFF! I used to reread this whole series every April, and I thought I‘d have it memorized forever. Yay! Surprises!
I‘m loving it so far, but one thing I do remember is that I always love New York and the art and the ghost, but I zonk out once Memnoch starts talking. We‘ll see.
If you haven‘t gotten a chance to check out this masterpiece, please do yourself the favor. It‘s bloody brilliant!! I‘ve binged seasons 1 & 2 and now I‘m running to finish Lestat‘s books before season 3. Can‘t wait! 🤩🤩 Anne would have loved this. 🥹
Revisiting the story before Season 3....and if you haven't done so by now, WATCH INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, on AMC.
It is simply amazing
pickSince watching the “Interview with the Vampire” series, I realized that was the only book that I read in the series years ago. I am currently flying through “The Vampire Lestat” and it is fantastic!!!
pickHonestly my favorite book of all time. Lost count of how many readings! Just shelve any apprehensions and read it! You‘ll have a new hero
Screenshot from Books in the Freezer insta-reel. A hilarious annotation inspired by if Lestat was written during GRWM popularity.
Annotation reads: Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel.
pick#doublespin done! Another reread of the vampire chronicles and I enjoyed this! A lot of reviews mention it being rambly but I always quite enjoy Anne Rice‘s little philosophical diversions… and I bloody love Lestat and how much he loves himself 😆
This also fits into #promptmaze as a dubious ‘glow-up‘ (body swapping!) - could also have been categorised as make up or break up honestly but glow up felt most appropriate!
