"--and when we were really pinched he did play right on the boulevard, with me beside him, holding out the hat. We were shameless!"
Anne Rice's characters from The Vampire Chronicles as featured in the second novel in the series, "The Vampire Lestat". Nicolas de Lenfent (Nicki) and Lestat de Lioncourt in a colorful early evening in Paris. Nicolas plays the violin while Lestat holds out a hat for the passer-by for money. They stand on an empty corner with ivy crawling up the side of a building and the lamp shining down on the street. The violin case is open. Nicki somewhat blends into the building due to the soft shadow, all but his face, which is illuminated by the lamplight coming from around the corner. On the other side of him stands Lestat in a theatrical pose, the lamp from overhead illuminating him brightly like a spotlight on a stage. His expression is boyish and pleased.

"Yes, fight, Wolfkiller," he said. "Don't go into hell without a battle."
Lestat from Anne Rice's "The Vampire Lestat", book two in "The Vampire Chronicles." The image portrays the scene of Lestat fighting the wolves with a sword and flail in the snow, under the light of the moon. One wolf takes a bite from his boot, the other leaps to attack his arm. Lestat bleeds at the temple and there is a gash in his arm. Blood is on the snow.

A moot added details to my fic. The missing Raphael "Portrait of a Young Man" has a blank frame like this waiting for him to return to Princes Czartoryski Museum in Cracow. Louis, you capitalist vampire can't have the painting!

I've written a Lestat's birthday fic, in which Louis pines angstily for him in 2021, half a year before the interview with Daniel happened #iwtvfic #loustatfic

It's a companion piece to Lestat's pining angstily for Louis in 1973.

Our #ICYMI column highlights Australian series #TheNewsreader, which may have started out as a strict drama, but has evolved into a fascinating queer character study:

I wrote a fic for Halloween. Two days after Armand called in 1973, Lestat arrived in San Francisco to look for Louis. #lestatfic #iwtvfic

It's inspired by this video of the house of the 1st interview, from Anne Rice's YT channel.

Funny thing when that episode came out, I asked the lovely Roxanne Duran on twt, what is the meaning of apple scene? She said it was Rolin's idea! I wish more cast of #IWTV #InterviewWithTheVampire #TVL are online so we could ask them questions like that. Roxanne is always sooo sweet and responsive.

There's a scene in the new Interview with the Vampire where a character eats an apple with a spoon and its the most fucked up thing I've ever seen.

ABSOLUTE BALM to the soul. Thanks AJ Mason for this enchanting, accurate piece of #iwtv #InterviewWithTheVampire

The real meaning behind that church scene, many in the fandom should read this and stop 'Lestat forced Louis into vampirism by killing his friends'.

don't give this article clicks, but these excerpts should give you an idea of the misogyny, homophobia, and blatant revisionist history of both the source material and the show itself happening here
Excerpt from Slate Talamasca article from October 27, 2025: "The appeal of *Interview with the Vampire*, while limited, is potent to the susceptible. People who want to see pretty men in fabulous clothes swanning around Prais and New Orleans and making long melodramatic professions of love to each other--well, those people, most women, *really, really* want to see that. *Interview* is basicall fanfiction without a canon. Typically, a TV series collects a fandom by depicting a platonic relationship between two male characters that the fans like to imagine becoming romantic. With *Interview*, the series, following Rice's lead, skips the preliminaries and cuts straight to the romance, although focus on the erotic elements in fanfiction tends to overshadow what I believe to be its true appeal: a fantasy in which men talk in great and ardent detail about their feelings. Excerpt from Slate Talamasca article from October 27, 2025: "Season 1 of *Interview with the Vampire*--in which the main character, Louis, gets initiated into vamprism by Rice's most famous creation, the rakish Lestat--had a reasonable amount of storytelling in it, but by Season 2, the series idled. Much time was squandered on that least interesting of subjects: the intrigues within a regional theater company. Otherwise, the characters mostly just stared at each other with burning desire and argued about who loved who and how much.

Horror has long been a home for queerness. This essay explores how #InterviewWithTheVampire with its lush, complex storytelling, illuminates the line between desire and damnation and how horror becomes a metaphor for self-acceptance and liberation. #iwtv

A meme styled like a news headline features four people seated at what looks like a tense meeting or negotiation table. At the top is a fake tweet by a user named "loustat nation citizen @TheEggsos." Below it, a headline reads in bold, sensational newspaper-style font: "Divorce Lawyers Sue Couple For 'Wasting People's Time.'" Under the headline are two main characters--a serious-looking man on the left wearing a button-up shirt and a woman on the right with long dark hair, appearing frustrated or disinterested. Below them are circular cutouts showing two opposing lawyers: one with an exaggeratedly skeptical expression and raised eyebrow, and the other a man with long blonde hair mid-scream, mouth wide open in dramatic outrage. The contrast in facial expressions adds comedic effect, implying the couple's divorce is so absurd or drawn-out that the lawyers themselves are fed up and suing them instead.

My ace vampire essay inspired another ace vampire essay??? (Do we call this asexual reproduction? “I suppose we could people the world with vampires.” 🍷 🧛‍♀️ 🦇)

I’m honored to have inspired this close rereading of Interview with the Vampire, in conversation with asexual readings of fairy tales. 📚

@nocturnalxlight.bsky.social I wrote a whole blog in response to your Interview with the Vampire article, after rereading the book. Sorry that the colour goes weird at the end - I couldn’t fix it any better.

Quotes from Anne Rice's numerous Facebook posts about the PLATONIC relationship of Louis and Lestat. Just bc the og movie made it not-gay-enough, doesn't mean the books are not. They've not been subtle for 50 years @slate.com

What a 'lovely' fake-review of #Talamasca that takes several nasty swipes to #InterviewWithTheVampire #iwtv, in which the writer continued to show no knowledge or research of CANON beyond 94 movie: "A PLATONIC relationship between two male characters that the fans like to imagine becoming romantic."
