26 October 2024, 5:46 pm - 1 hour 57 minutesEpisode 12: Interview with the Vampire
Join Alys Wilfred Earl (@alysdragon), Mattie Tucker (@doomedrider), Robyn, Mona, and Geoffrey Sperl (geoffreysperl.com) for Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire. We discuss the novel at length, plus the movie and a tiny bit of the new TV series. This also serves as a lead-in to our next episode on The Vampire Lestat and The Queen of the Damned. Is it a standalone book? Is it truly the start of a series? Very importantly, is it a vampire novel?
