“Where’s the black cape and ‘finely tailored’ black coat and the silk tie and all that foolishness?” I asked. Eyes locked on each other. Then he broke the stillness and laughed without making a sound. But he went on studying me with a rapt expression that gave me a secret joy. And with the boldness of a child, he reached out and ran his fingers down the lapel of my gray velvet coat. ”Can’t always be the living legend,” he said. The voice was like a whisper that wasn’t a whisper. And I could hear his French accent so clearly, though I had never been able to hear my own.
I wonder if it’s going to be set right after Queen of the Damned or ignore the ones that came after it and start over. Or, shall we say … revamp everything after QofD 😉
It’s supposed to be in between qotd and totbt, like a lost chapter or deleted scene. I don’t think it’s rewriting the current Canon.
ooc; Anne’s said that it takes place in modern time, but is the “true” sequel to Queen of the Damned (which she later corrected to say “the first four books,” then “Memnoch”). She said that the later books were more “memoirs,” although what she means by that, I think everyone’s still speculating.
I took her to mean that the other books post-MtD hadn’t advanced the plot, just gone back and filled in the blanks in the characters’ backstories, and that the new book would be something – well, new.
But then, she referred to the memoirs and, how did she put it, “the other experiments”? Which would mean the VC/Mayfair crossover, presumably. And for all its faults, the crossover DID at least advance the plot, in that Louis got powered up, Lestat finally woke up and she wrapped up the long-dangling Taltos plot thread (however much I really wish she hadn’t done it that way).
So maybe she just wants to do a new thing that’s pure vampire. I could live with that so long as the werewolves don’t get involved. I still haven’t been able to bring myself to read those books.
(cloudsinvenice pretty much wrote everything I was thinking so… there it is then…)
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"
