Scelti dalle tenebre

This is one of those books that defined me. I don't mean that I turned goth or vampire or whatever. No... it started me thinking. I was born and raised in the South. I didn't read anything else other than fantasy novels (like Dragonlance). I joined the Marines in 89 and while watching a movie about a Leggi tutto

Dear Anne Rice: NOT WORTHY. Signed, All Fictional Vampires Who Are Not Lestat This was a re-read for me, but in all honesty, I don't think I was ready for this book the first time I read it.

The Vampire Lestat is Lestat's story told in his perspective. Leggi tutto

It is my suggestion that, if you want to sample Anne Rice, and have never read any of her other works, this may be the book you want to read instead of her most famous novel, "Interview with a Vampire." let me explain. "The Vampire Lestat" is quite a different novel from the first in the series, beca Leggi tutto

I loved these books in my 20s. Lestat had a great origin story and we explore that here. Anne takes us all the way up to Interview with the Vampire. Lestat is a crazy maker, he likes trouble. He did have a rough start as an immortal. I loved the tone of Anne's books. They were so brooding and gothic Leggi tutto
