THE OFFICIAL COVER FOR “PRINCE LESTAT” (source)

WE HAVE A FUCKING COVER AND A SYNOPSIS I AM FREAKING OUT

SYNOPSIS WHERE ANNABELLIONCOURT?? 

All I know of the synopsis for this are the bullet points gleaned by l-e-s-t-a-t (here) of the Dinner Party Show, and the teasing from Anne Rice as follows (source):

“It is a big vampire chronicle,” she said. “It’s all about Lestat and all about the vampires and what they’re doing right now. How they’re coming to terms with everything that’s happened to them, and how Lestat is dealing with demands from all sides that he step forward and become some sort of leader of the tribe.”

“It’s a true sequel to ‘The Queen of the Damned,’ ” Christopher prompted. “That’s how you described it to me.” …

“It’s a sequel to the first five,” Rice corrected, meaning that it also follows “The Tale of the Body Thief” and “Memnoch the Devil.”

“I don’t want to be irritating, or how should I put it, pretentious, talking about a character as though he’s a living being, but I really had to wrestle this guy to the ground and beat him up and say, ‘Look, you’ve got to talk to me. I want to know what you’ve been doing,’ ” she said. “I can’t really write novels about that character unless he wants to come through.”

Rice went back and re-read her own books in the series before she began writing. Once she hit her stride, she wrote more material than could fit into “Prince Lestat.”

“I feel like this is Novel 1 of a new incarnation of the Vampire Chronicles,” she said.

Fave line from this:  "I really had to wrestle this guy to the ground and beat him up"

FANART OF THIS PLEASE.

DITTO. There’s alot of mixed reactions out there but I waver between cautiously optimistic and ridiculously excited. Maybe I’m just easy to please and hard to disappoint. 

It can’t be as bad as the train wreck that was the movie of Queen of the Damned. It just can’t be. 

Also, if it’s bad by hardcore fan standards, at least it’s not poisoning the water for adaptations of the series in other mediums like QotD did.

Yes, good point. I would LOVE adaptations of the series in other mediums. Perhaps this will draw Hollywood’s attention back to the possibility of working the Dark Trick on TVL into a film or series.

What’s confirmed about Prince Lestat:

  • “Nearly all” of the vampires are in it, except those from her crossover books with the Mayfairs
  • There’s a vampire radio station owned by Benji out of New York
  • Some chick is going to Stanford
  • Lestat learns how to use iPhones but then forgets how like two nights later
  • There’s a big conflict with the Talamasca and it’s going to bring the coven together
  • It’s longer than Interview with the Vampire
  • Christopher said the book is “Game of Thrones” style
  • The book is not told exclusively from Lestat’s POV; there’s a lot of third person, some of which is told by mortals and Talamascans.
  • Anne has already signed a contract to write a sequel to Prince Lestat; this is the “first book” in a “new incarnation” of the Vampire Chronicles
  • Anne’s in talks for movie deals (not really new news) and thinks we’ll hear something in the fall from Hollywood

THANK U FOR GATHERING THESE BULLET POINTS l-e-s-t-a-t!
