I love Anne Rice's vampires. Well, vampires in general, mostly. Lol. My nickname in high school, as my former English teacher called me, was the brat princess, lol. She was the one who introduced me to Anne Rice. And yes, she has a special nickname too that I call her by: spawn of the devil.
If you think those nicknames were spoken in privacy.... Nope, said out loud in class to each other. I still have her as a friend on Facebook, actually.
Anyway, if you're wondering, the new book Anne Rice is writing that's bringing back Lestat is... Prince Lestat. Heart. I still remember the first line in The Vampire Lestat: If you haven't met me before, I want this to be love at first sight.. Ooh la la. Haha.
