Many adults are still living with patterns that started in environments where they had to adapt to feel safe. They may feel reactive. Guarded. Anxious. Avoidant. Exhausted. And they may not realize those responses once made sense.

Nadia Adessi made this guide to help you understand how childhood trauma can affect you across a lifetime, and how to begin making sense of the patterns you were never properly taught to understand❤️

I'm sharing this because this information is very insightful and helpful in better understanding of how trauma, especially in childhood, forms a person and follows it into adulthood.

The exact date that INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE was published has been much debated online. Was it April 12th or May 5th?

We went to the source at the Anne Rice archive at Tulane and found the answer in Anne’s own hand. A diary entry, written six days after publication, settles a question that's been quietly drifting around for years. April 12th has been the date most often cited online, but as you can see from her own diary entry, the official publication day was May 5th, 1976.

"Last week was madness. Official publication date was May 5th — Vicky sent a telegram which was phoned Congratulations, etc. Nice."

Vicky Wilson is Anne's longtime editor at Knopf. You can see from the handwritten entries that a book signing event happened that evening at Minerva’s Owl in San Francisco to celebrate the book release.

Fifty years on, the novel is still finding new readers.

"I dug up a whole bunch of cassettes recently and I found a lot of stuff — demos. I actually found a song that we never used," drummer Johnny Kelly began.

"I would go to [keyboardist] Josh's [Silver] house when we were working on the records. I would always go home — say, after the day, we were working on a song. This was back when cassettes were being used. CDs really weren't standard yet as far as in the studio for ref[erence copies] and stuff like that. So I have a bunch of ref cassettes from demos that we did and stuff."
