"Also there was something vampiric about rock music." "So eloquent of dread it was, this music..." - Anne Rice - The Vampire Lestat

"Maybe this is madness. Maybe that's what Hell is. You go mad. And all your demons come and get you just as fast as you can think them up." - Anne Rice - Memnoch the Devil

Who Louis, who?

I'm in love with this shot.

"That is one of the worst aspects of evil, that it always involves the death of possible good, always proceeds from the destruction of something that might have been so much better." - Anne Rice - Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis

I'm curious about the typewriter in the middle of the table, in front of an empty chair (Lestat's chair at the family table in mortal life?) That Lestat has placed himself at the head of the table, in his father's chair, but his body language is uncomfortable and even diminutive (arms not on the armrests but slack to his side, his back slouched) and that he is in the studio hallucinating mortal Gabriella looking aggressive - arms on the armrest, hands clenched, leaning forward. I'd guess he's facing the ways in which he's been like his father and casting his mother as the arbitrator of his own disdain (?). But who knows what ring of hell he's putting himself through here.
