"I used to lie in my bed at night and pray that Lestat would come for me"
This is the comment
that propelled me to read the "Interview with the Vampire Chronicles" by Anne
Rice. My current reading obsession. I won't go on about this series too much,
but basically in my opinion these are the best Vampire books ever written. They're
passionately written, romantic (and I don't mean your cruddy boy meets girl romance), full
of suspense, intrigue and surprisingly enough, not much blood and guts. If you are
interested in finding out more about this series you can visit here to read other
peoples comments on the books (and many other Vampire themed books) or you can go here, straight to Anne Rice's home page.
But for now, I'll leave you with a quote from the man Lestat himself:
"I am the
vampire Lestat. I'm immortal. More or less. The light of the sun, the
sustained heat of an intense fire - these things might destroy me. But then again,
they might not.
I'm six feet tall, which was fairly impressive in the 1780s when I was a young
mortal man. It's not bad now. I have thick blond hair, not quite shoulder length,
and rather curly, which appears white under flourescent light. My eyes are grey,
but they absorb the colors blue or violet easily from surfaces around them."
