Interview with the Vampire

So what do we get back? Hot, horny vampires.

Hooray! Author Anne Rice publishes her hit novel, Interview with the Vampire, in 1976.

And I absolutely love her because she stays true to the roots of vampirism and writes them all essentially as like hottie bisexuals.

This is her on Charlie Rose.

I know this has been floating around for decades now, this whole idea of the Mandela effect.

And the reason I brought it up most recently was another example that came to light was suddenly it seems as if Anne Rice's novel is now called Interview With...

A Interview with the Vampire.

And the movie now is referred to as Interview with the Vampire, although I and millions of others swear up and down it was Interview with a Vampire.

And now it's changed, apparently.

So, I mean, does the simulation theory explain the Mandela effect?

But they said, not only do they remember it, they used it in a presentation to explain what a cornucopia is.

Okay, now those people are much closer.

Honestly, I think it's the way the city embraces everyone.

The message for me from Interview with a Vampire is...

Be who you are.

You know, come as you are and be who you are.

that Brad Pitt is.

In Interview with the Vampire? Yeah, that's a good one.

That's a good one to watch during the spooky season.

I think that's a good one.

they're older? Multiple people told me they came from the Twilight tradition.

And I did talk to some older people, you know, older millennials, who said that they started on fantasy with Anne Rice and Interview with a Vampire.

And what struck me is that all of these books... were doing very similar things in terms of merging fantasy with romance.

But of course, we didn't have the term romantasy at the time.

Great.

So since our podcast has now hit our 50th episode, I thought it would be fun to reveal a couple of other things that also are 50. oh so in the fall of 1976 which was 50 years ago interview with a vampire by anne rice was released have you read that when i was 12.

when you were 12 i was 12. isn't that like kind of spicy yeah um so i had read through like all of the books that i had and all the books i'd gotten from the library obviously at 12 years old i was too far to walk from the library and obviously i can't drive and i'm like i need somebody to get me some books so i was looking through my mom's shelves and that is the one that i picked okay good choice bad choice i do not know but i did not confess to my mom that i read that when i was 12 until two or three years ago

okay i have not read the book nor have i watched the movie but i have watched queen of the damned which is about lestat um and i love that movie i mean i know that's the it's kind of a cult classic one i think is it um i know it's kind of a cult classic and you know not a lot of people love it but i love it i love the soundtrack of that movie it's fantastic so i thought that was interesting And as of today, in the whole Amazon store, the 50th ranked book right now is Fallen Rope by LJ Shin.

And why I still don't read them.

Why I

read Interview with a Vampire when I was 12 and started my Stephen King journey not much later than that.

Yeah.

oh yeah i

don't feel like that's horror maybe it is number 15 interview with the vampire by anne rice never had any
