Drunk Book Club: Prince Lestat

Okay, so there are these vampires, right? And they all originated from this time a demon possessed a human, yeah? Well it turns out we're all connected by magic ethereal blood tentacles and.... Yeah, lemme get a drink before we get any further into this. Some things are best experienced secondhand. Dorothy and Vrai are here to report these things to you, with the help of a little liquid courage. Join us on our periodical journey through the bad, the weird, and the trashy lowlights of literature, starting with something we both love very, very much: The Vampire Chronicles. Or, we did, before certain sequels turned the hero into an unrepentant rapist and brought in "science" that even L Ron Hubbard would call kind of far-fetched. Now we just can't look away. Join us, won't you?
