you should all go read the vampire chronicles for
- pansexual polyamorous vampires who dress sharp as fuck and become rockstars
- egyptian queens who literally crush hearts
- 17 year-old russian ginger boys who for some reason are played by antonio banderas in the movie
- small vampire girls who r like the embodiment of the oedipus complex
- broody dark-haired nerds who r so beautiful the author has to describe their perfect face for 5 pages before the plot can continue
Prince Lestat is supposedly a stand-alone book in the series and can be considered an AU. It’s very cracky and the characterization is inconsistent with the rest of the series.
My short answer is SKIP IT FOR NOW. Read #1-#4, those are SO MUCH BETTER. Then some of the later ones, like The Vampire Armand, Blood and Gold, and Pandora… after all that, you can go back to Prince Lestat and consider it a fanfic AU. Much less painful that way, less VC reputation-tarnishing that way ;]

This scene created in me a life-long desire to own a scythe.
SAME. Also every scene where someone pets Louis’s hair made me want to have hair like him. Siiiigh.
In the book it was just a random farm scythe. Stronger element of JUSTICE in the movie version, to be killed by your own – and very real, not a prop – scythe.
“In a kitchen garden I saw something, something that had only been vague in my thoughts until I had my hands on it. It was a small scythe, its sharp curved blade still caked with green weeds from the last mowing. And once I’d wiped it clean and run my finger along the sharp blade, it was as if my plan came clear to me and I could move fast to my other errands…” – Interview with the Vampire
Ladies and gentlemen….a spring-loaded dick in a box from the 1800s. It made for a great gift
humanity’s sense of humour has not progressed much in the last hundred years
I feel a mighty need to see a fic about this
Lestat is so giving this to Louis for Christmas.
…Or already did.
Christmas, 1821, I received one of these.
No. Louis makes a fledgling and it dies like 10 minutes later.
vampchronfic: #Louis’s fledglings are like the redshirts in star trek
TRUE FACTS
Take your time, lady. No pressure *u*
Sometimes it takes Lestat awhile to load his reponse to things, too.
I’m about 25% of the way through my slow and painful read of Prince Lestat. I have to say that there are some bits that I DO like, I wouldn’t throw the whole thing in the bin for it’s cracky plot points (which are hella cracky).
Yes, Louis and Armand are very much in it 😉
