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"
ooc; I am actually scouring Anne’s Facebook for all of her posts related to VC throughout the past year and a half or so because of this new book that I’m still very fearful of.
This fandom had better love me; I feel masochistic listening to her talking for an hour and then delving into her Facebook page. I hope I come back with my sanity in tact and not like Lestat in Blood Canticle. I’m such a martyr for VC fandom. Wish me luck.
I LOVE U FOR THIS ♥u♥ Not that I didn’t before. But this… this is truly taking one for the team!! *bows before u*
