I've read the vampire chronicles and the servant of the bones. i've seen the interview with the vampire and haven't seen queen of the damned. anyone else?
i think im right there with ya. havent seen queen of the damned. it seems a lot of women author these modern vampire stories.
I didn't like the vampire Lestat movie, (I can't stand cruise) but the Queen of the Damned is ok.. not great, but ok. Disturbed opens for Lestats band and Akasha is HOT. I really liked Maharet too, a serious milf. They followed the book close enough for me and the special effects were pretty good.
If you're a Vampire fan, Brian Lumley wrote a novel, Necroscope, and several sequels that bring the classic creature to live in a more animalistic, disturbing fashion.
Ive read alot of Anne Rice books....I liked her Vampire series quite a bit....Mayfair Wtiches...eh... Servant of the Bones was really good. I did enjoy Interview with the Vampire...and I really did enjoy Queen of The Damned...I didnt go into that movie trying to see Anne Rice's book...because I had read reviews where people said it strayed alot...so...on its own terms...it was good. (Great Soundtrack!!!) I think Stuart Townsend made a really good Lestat....better than Cruise. Cant wait for Ramses to come out..in 2009
I've read and seen Interview with The Vampire and I've seen her house in New Orleans from the outside.
What's interesting is she no longer lives there. In fact, she has reconverted to Christianity and is now in the midst of a series of biographies of Christ.
When she had Lestat meeting satan, Christ on the day of the Crucifixion, and God, she lost me. Overall, I enjoyed the vampire series until then. I thought that there were some provacative questions about immortality.. much like the Doctah, when he dumps a broad... If you could have it, would you really want it? and as a vampire, killing humans to live...
It was thought-provoking. I think her best work in that series came after Memnoch; Merrick was phenomenal, and Blackwood Farm opened up another (much needed) chapter in the chronicles, which I had hoped would lead to more exploration of the vampires. Too bad she lost her **** and decided to "chronicle" the life of Christ instead. Anyone read Pandora or Vittorio, two books somewhat outside the Lestat coven? Pandora was an interesting character, and the book filled in the story of Marius.
Treat yourself to Pandora; it'll give you insight to the character of Marius. Plus Pandora is an intriguing vampire herself.
