merciful-death is taking one for the team, much praise, so grateful!

merciful-death:

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*

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!

shit. now I have to read past QotD…

Yep. Yep you do. Well… at least up through QotD. Might be interesting to read the new book not knowing what happens next, as it is meant to wedge right in there between QotD (#3) and ToBT (#4).

Some ppl in the fandom haven’t read all 10. No shame in that ;]

Don’t let my calm demeanor fool u, I just found out about this new book and am still absorbing the shock.
