Hi! I love your blog, and I have a question for you! My favorite character is Louis, and I’ve heard that he features more prominently as a character in Merrick. I’ve heard good and bad about Merrick, but I’ve never read it myself. Is it worth a read? (I’m getting back into the VC after a long time away, and I only read a handful of the books.)

Yes, READ THE BOOK!

antoineandthepiano made this lovely aesthetic pic set and description about Merrick for a Merrick RPer, forgotten-mayfair. You might want to ask them both about the book for more detail, any Children of Darkness (that’s what VC Fandom ppl are calling oureselves now) can also feel free to reblog this and add comments. I didn’t want to steal antoineandthepiano’s description from their post, go check that out!

Basically, if you love Louis, this is definitely a novel with alot of him in it, doing alot of serious stuff. It will hit you right in the feels. You might need to take breaks while reading it. 

I don’t remember if it spoils any other major plot points from books that come before it, but I seem to recall it as being almost a standalone novel. It does spoil the fact that certain characters in the novel were not vampires in previous novels.

AR Concerning Blood Paradise – Louis and Lestat. 

OOC; So I found this on Anne’s Facebook page. It was so amusing, but I have to agree. I love the wedding description she wrote for her fans [wedding des.]. It was fun and adorable, and keeping within context with the historical ruling in the US. I agree with her on this one and just her general positive attitude towards Lestat. It’s so easy to criticize him. Lestat he doesn’t make it easy. I get that.

AR: “Please, let’s be optimistic. Allow my Brat Prince some hope!” – I have a sneaking suspicion that it was just Lestat posing as AR.

The last comment gets me whiningforcenturies this was us yesterday….WAS IT NOT? WHERE IS THE LIE THO? Post from last night.

“Anne, please, A girl can only cry so many happy tears in one night.”

^I’m pissing myself laughing because the comment about how you can only cry so many happy tears in one night was me.

Lestat: Aww cute, night night baby.

Louis: I can’t fucking breathe.

Louis: I’m claustrophobic!

Lestat: Don’t be ridiculous. Pleasant dreams!

I still like the head canon that all the inaccuracies in the first book that Louis should have known about was just him trying to piss Lestat off so much that he’d wake up.

“And when the night was empty and still, I heard the voices of Interview with the Vampire singing to me, as if they sang from the grave. I read the book over  and over. And then in a moment of contemptible anger, I shredded it to bits.”

“… As for the lies he told, the mistakes  he made, well, I forgive him his excess  of imagination, his bitterness, and his vanity, which was, after all, never very great… But little things like this don’t really matter. He told the tale as he believed it… And why should I bother to tell of the times he came to me in wretched anxiety, begging me never to leave him…” 

“Read between the lines.”

OOC; omg crying from he laughter, best picture ever made. 

~Lestat Reading Shit~

^I WISH I could take credit for it, but I didn’t invent that meme. Idk who did… but I first saw it, liiiiiike, 6 yrs ago? And then found here on tumblr recently and reblogged so fast bc I had to preserve its magnificence and really it’s better than mine still…

I wanted to personally thank antoineandthepiano for their excellent portrayal of Antoine.

When I started rping with you I hadn’t the slightest idea who Antoine was bc I hadn’t gotten that far in the book. just from your about page and getting the privilege to rp with you I fell in love with Antoine before I really knew him. And now after reading his chapter i love him éven more! Thank you for being so amazing ugh

OOC; Why thank you my dear! I only just saw this. I am beyond flattered right now. I hope he continues to captivate you. I would just like to say I am so happy to see you back on my dash too.

Merrick (2000 – 2001) By Anne Rice.

I think this one of Anne’s best works. The pace of the novel is relentless and gracefully written. For me this novel is about David, Louis and Merrick’s spiral into a world of moral decline while they are haunted by their respective pasts. 

David’s confessional work, the reader is a voyeur in this tale:

A rare glimpse into Louis’ desperation, inner torment, lack of self control and poor judgement. An autobiographical piece for David within the context of the Talamasca, relationship with Merrick, his journey both into the savage unknown and his personal responsibility for those around him. This novel is his ultimate admission of shame and guilt; past and present. 

The photos above represent significant parts of the novel:

The Jade Mask; David and the Priest apparition

Louis’ Blood and Merrick’s Binding Spell

Merrick is given the Dark Gift and Louis’ devotion to her

OOC; My gift to you forgotten-mayfair – for inspiring me every time I see you on my dash. Thank you. x
