Weeping at the Beauty of the Night

"Now we slipped in the courtyard doors of the hotel and went up to the lavish parlor of our suite. Champagne glistened in a frosted bucket. Two glasses stood on the silver tray. I knew Lestat would fill one glass and sit there staring at the pale yellow color. And I, a man in a trance, lay on the settee staring at him as if nothing he could do mattered. I have to leave him or die, I thought. It would be sweet to die, I thought. Yes, die. I wanted to die before. Now I wish to die. I saw it with such sweet clarity, such dead calm."

“Would I suffer these horrors if not for God?” -Santino

You thought you knew the Vampire Lestat? Think again!

Edit to add, of course (direct quotes from Blood Canticle)

The contemporary gothic novel, Interview with the Vampire, was published on May 5, 1976. Fifty years later, and with thousands of fans around the world, Anne Rice’s legacy lives on; she transformed the vampire narrative and created a sanctuary within her words for the "weirdos." Today, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the book that started it all.

Is the doll supposed to be Claudia? Is it just because this is when she started her doll collecting binge? I don’t know, but this photo is AMAZING.
