Gothic Novels of the Twentieth Century, by Elsa J. Radcliffe. I don’t remember how I ran across a mention of this book on Google, but once I did, I was entranced and had to own it. Yes, it’s a list of gothic novels, by author, up to about 1978, with occasional snarky commentary.
What Ms. Radcliffe had to say about Interview with the Vampire:
Seems indicative of this generation when psycho-socio-philosophy creep even into the literature of horror-Gothic. The absurd lengths to which introspection may go are at last met in this study into the inner life of a vampire. Some of the details of vampire life elaborated upon I found repulsive and without redeeming social value. The whole thing just doesn’t come off, in my view – as seems to be true, now that I think of it, with most vampire stories.
I am going to find this book vastly amusing.

“…when I was twelve, and the old parish priest, who had taught me some poetry by rote and to read an anthem or two in Latin, wanted to send me to school at the nearby monastery.
My father said no, that I could learn all I needed in my own house…
My father was angry and reminded [my mother] that if this had happened before he went blind, his will would have prevailed surely. My brothers assured him that his youngest son wouldn’t be gone long. I’d come running home as soon as I was made to do something I didn’t want to do.
Well, I didn’t come running home. I loved the monastery school.
…Within a month I declared my vocation. I wanted to enter the order… frankly I thought my father would be glad to be rid of me.
But three days later my brothers arrived to take me home with them. I cried and begged to stay, but there was nothing the Father Superior could do.” – The Vampire Lestat
Lestat does enjoy his trip to Wal-Mart. 😉
No tears formula!
He’ll still find a way to cry about it.

Lestat got Armand back for the little prank from before… and the poor Starbucks baristas are just caught in the crossfire again
Comparison of ironwork on balconies in New Orleans and New York. An unintentional collaboration by @gairid and @i-want-my-iwtv, 3 years apart.
I’ve walked by this balcony on 54th street dozens of times and felt this nostalgia, where was that feeling coming from?! Now I know! My friend @vampchronfic has been using the NOLA balcony shot as their header image! Little piece of NOLA right here in NY *u* I would bet the NOLA balcony was made first, since it has more details and dimensionality, but maybe simplifying that was a design choice for the NY client, since we have harsher weather to contend with here.
Lestat does not enjoy his trip to Starbucks.
Armand is losing his shit in the distance
THEY KNOW HIM TOO WELL stop the overly flirtatious attitude w/ those poor overworked baristas so much and maybe they’ll get your name right you ass
OH WAIT MAYBE ARMAND IS RESPONSIBLE… #fic request

“…it is based on the natural colour of blood. That colour is the same in all of us, so therefore it doesn’t clash with anyone’s skin.”
