How to tell if you’re in an Anne Rice novel

sarahtaylorgibson:

  1. God has abandoned you. You’re fine with it. Really.
  2. You are a supernatural creature, and if not, you are swept up in a passion so otherworldly and consuming you may as well be.
  3. You take huge revelations, shocks, and life changes pretty much in stride and don’t waste time resisting the unknown. The unknown might be a vampire or a new sexual experience or a grand international adventure, but most probably it’s all three.
  4. You are strangely intimate with all your acquaintances and go on for pages about how beautiful they are. If you are male, It will come to light by your own casual admission that you have gone to bed with an older but still handsome and always disarming male friend of the family. You will call it making love. But no homo.
  5. Everyone around you is exchanging needful touches and tender glances like this is a softcore porn novel. Wait, is it?
  6. You swoon, cry, and pine an awful lot.
  7. At some point in the narrative, you will end up in an ornate Catholic church and be filled with a sense of nostalgia and longing and existential angst.
  8. You are really not okay with the apparent fact that God has abandoned you. You secretly hope you are still worthy of His love.
  9. You spend at least 20% of the narrative in New Orleans, probably the Garden District.

WELCOME BACK, PRINCE LESTAT!

It’s not always a great thing when ageing creators revisit the franchises of their youth. Quite often they do them a lot of harm. Approach with caution.

Especially when they’ve been busy writing werewolves and first-person jesus? All we can do is hold our breath and hope she doesn’t do something we can’t just pretend isn’t canon… 

Also it’s a sequel to QOTD? But like…aren’t ALL the books after QOTD sequels to it? lmao I assume though this means the return of Monsieur le Rockstar? HMM
