The paragraph shown isn't from Interview with the Vampire. That story isnt told by Lestat.

It's from Queen of the Damned. There was also a movie made from that. It stared Aaliyah and actually came out after her death.

Edit: I stand corrected, it's from the book after QotD.

Pretty sure that movie was terrible with an awesome soundtrack

Late 90s early 00s were the wild fuckin west of electronica and awesome cross-genre like r&b and hardcore. The movie is terrible, but in a good way. The soundtrack does indeed slam.

Correct

No, it's from The Vampire Lestat, the second book in the stupid series.

It's not.

David Talbot isn't introduced until Queen of the Damned

Also, The Vampire Lestat starts out in France in the 1700s.

In the winter of my twenty-first year, I went out alone on horseback to kill a pack of wolves.

This was on my father's land in the Auvergne in France, and these were the last decades before the French Revolution.

I read the series as far as it went back then when I was a teen and even then I oupd notice the quality diving deeper and deeper with each book

Yeah I remember seeing Queen of the damned, but don't remember anything about it haha. It's been a long time and it's not a thing I'm all that into.
