Awww love for the blarg! *u* and merciiii, I am quite awesome. [X]

IDK if IWTV is a high-grossing vampire book, I would hope so! My guess would be its ranking in vampire book lists has changed over time. Popularity probably surged when movie!IWTV and movie!QOTD came out, when the Lestat Musical came out, when each new book comes out, etc.
If not IWTV, I wouldn’t know which is the highest-grossing, but I would bet it’s TVL, because it establishes alot of the Ricean vampire lore/rules, and that’s the one they are focusing on in the new film adaptation.

… and then it also depends on ppl’s access to the book, whether they have to sneak it bc they are 8 yr olds reading their big sister’s battered paperback, or adults listening to the audiotapes bc it was recc’d by a friend, who knows! Everyone seems to come in at different times in their lives, different ways. Very few ppl tell me they just saw it on a shelf and the cover made them want to give it a try, it’s usually someone giving it to them like a drug dealer gives you a taste of the goods to get you hooked… lol.
Anyone can reblog w/ info on this!
