Tag Archives: Lestat Reading Shit

The vampire who made me was everything that I truly believed evil to be: He was dismal, as literal, as barren, as inevitably eternally disappointing as I believed evil had to be!

Louis if this is you trying to piss your maker off A+ excellent job

Dearest Lestat (I hope it is alright to use your first name?) Other than your own, what is your favourite vampire book or series?

//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.

all I could think of when Anne posted it on fb

^This is Lestat reading smtg in an attempt to seduce Louis. 

Louis: “Your book is upside down.”

Lestat: “I was… considering the illustrations upside down… it’s an artistic technique to-”

Louis: “I’m sure that’s exactly what you were doing.”

@i-want-my-iwtv​ blog turning 3 yrs old on 7/25/16!

[^X from my first post!]

From the fans who fell into VC since before my time, to the fresh blood (heh heh) who are just wading into it w/ us now, you’ve all made my tumblr experience so rich, I can’t even properly express how blown away I am on a daily basis how many of you send me such lovely messages and intriguing asks, and fanart, etc. and just… how, with your input, this blog has become the blog I wanted to find for all the years I searched for one. Thank you all for laying your affections w/ me over this pile of dysfunctional vampires!

So in the absence of a Follow Forever I’m doing a giveaway ^u^

I bought a few copies of VC books, and I will send them anywhere in the world as long as you have an address I can post snail mail to (and that you’re willing to share your address with me, of course!). The winners will be drawn randomly from ppl who reblog this post. 

  • 5 books up for winning: IWTV (gold hardcover), the Witching Hour (large paperback, it’s VC adjacent bc of the later crossover books), IWTV (paperback), TOBT (paperback w/ dual covers), Merrick (paperback). I may add a few more winnable things to this.
  • Winner also gets a personal handwritten message from me in the book or separately on a card. Winner specifies.
  • I will contact the winners here on tumblr, so keep your ask/chat open. If I cannot reach you in 48 hours, I will have to pick another winner :-
  • Only Reblogs will count as entries, and only one per blog counts.
  • No “giveaway” blogs can win. 
  • I will not be able to disburse tracking for the mail, sorries, but you can send me $ for it via paypal.

  • This giveaway ends July 29, 2016.

Thank you for again for validating my presence in the fandom here, sharing fanworks, headcanons, the RPers. You’re all wonderful and I feel lucky to have you following me!

*~*~*~*~Merci beaucoup and bonne chance!~*~*~*~*

Please make Interviews & Rec an ongoing thing.

Don’t we all? *blows kiss*  You are welcome to all that I can provide here! Y’know, the “I” is meant to be for anyone who likes this blog, not just the fabulousness that is its mastermind, ~Mater Fabuloso~.

…Except Lestat. He doesn’t want any more of THAT version of the story, lol.

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.

Well it worked, didn’t it?!

“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.

^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…
