Anne Rice has defined vampire fiction for a
generation, but it all began with her debut novel where Louis de
Pointe du Lac tells the story of his 200 year life to a mortal
interviewer with a tape recorder. In episode 163, Luke & James
visit the dark and fantastic world of a New Orleans long past.
Topics: Anne Rice’s legacy in genre fiction, the potential value of
her style of prose, the vampire sex question, a tragic personal
connection between the author and Claudia, what makes evil
characters appealing, a theory on why editors may have initially
passed on the eventual bestseller, and some solid writing
advice.

Pitt and Tom Cruise!
