//Sorry, my Lestat can’t answer this one 😛 Since I haven’t read many other vampire books or series, I can’t consider what his opinion would be on them! 

He’d probably be more into the vampire movies and graphic novels/comics than novels and series. Lestat was into

Sam Spade

comics before it was cool to be a giant nerd! ;D 

He does read books, he did a lot of reading to educate himself on the state of the world in 1984, but remember how he felt about Gabrielle’s bookworminess: “I hated the sight of her books; I hated her absorption in them.”

However, I did ask around and got some recs from other ppl about other vampire books/series Lestat might like:

@annabellioncourt:

• The Historian (for its worldliness), 
• Dracula (for its stereotype-setting content), 
• Lord Ruthven (Byronic vampire, Lestat doesn’t catch the irony of John Polidori’s mockery of the foppish, arrogant, and well…Lord-Byron-y vampire)
• Tanith Lee’s vampire series was out when Lestat was playing rockstar
• The Delicate Dependency, for romance and decadence.
• and also A Taste of Blood Wine, also for romance and decadence.

@riverofwhispers:

• Carmilla is good
• Anita Blake and Sookie Stackhouse books, but only the early ones.
• the Rachel Morgan series but again starts out good gets weird later and it’s not about vampires so much as there are vampires in it.

Anyone can reblog/comment and add to this what you think Lestat might like to read! We’ll make this a recc post under #vc adjacent recs.
