Okay but like Brett Scallions for Lestat, and let me tell you that this man can SING, and he has unbelievable stage presence. Also, intensely hot.
I saw him in 1996 (I think?). He was/is the lead singer for Fuel, and they were opening for 3 Doors Down, and he was WAY more of a performer than the entirety of 3DD. He CLIMBED THE SCAFFOLDING TO TAKE A SELFIE WITH SOMEONE ON THE BALCONY. Very #Lestatuesque thing to do.
In the beginning of the show he warned the audience: “I spit alot, I’ll try not to spit on you, but just so you know, first rows are splash zone.” I was further back, near the middle of the audience. For the most part he turned to the side to spit, but occasionally, did spit on the audience. They seemed to like it.
The Consulting Analyst Masterpost: Interview with the Vampire -Vrai Kaiser
Interview with the Vampire is a lot of things. A queer love story. A moving depiction of debilitating depression. Sometimes heartrending in its prose and sometimes an equally beautiful trainwreck. Frequently problematic from a modern perspective and yet unspeakably important as both an influential work of vampire fiction and one of the few widely-available works for queer kids to see themselves in. Above all, it’s dear to my heart. Which is probably why I spent several months flailing over it in considerable detail (along with the culture and various adaptations around it).
The entire series of essays is here collected for your reading pleasure – with plenty of time to catch up before we move to the next book.
