I shook my head. "I can't believe he would harm you. Hasn't he come to Lestat? Did he not come to see the Veil with his own eyes?" He had done well. Your strength was complex and obvious. Our Queen Mother Akasha's blood was mixed with that of Lestat. Marius, my ancient lover, had given him blood as well. Lestat, ah, now what do they say, they say that he may even have drunk the blood of the Christ.

To write it now--in this notebook as I sit here alone--it gives architecture to a trivial moment, and seems so dire a confession. Suddenly your eyes moved upwards. Your expression changed. It was almost as if you were deliberately trying to appear to enter a trance. Slowly you turned your head. You pointed, with your hand close to the table, then let your hand go lax. But that was an exception, a surge of love in the man's soul that somehow defied death, or delayed the soul's termination--something we can't understand."You don't know what a joy it is to me," you said, "that you've come, that you've let me join you here at this table." I was taken with your earnestness, your passion. You were not jaded or cynical. There was an immediacy to your feelings for these happenings, these creatures, these questions you posed. Ah, we have a lot to be grateful for in the many styles of eyeglasses in this age--for if I were to take these off, I should have to keep my head bowed, not to startle people with the mere play of yellow and brown and gold in my eyes, that have grown ever more jewel-like over the centuries, so that I seem a blind woman set with topaz for her pupils, or rather carefully formed orbs of topaz, sapphire, even aquamarine. Just as Lestat resigns himself to the body of a killer he is approached by the body thief, a creature who covets Lestat's monstrous power and can give him what he wants: a mortal body.

I can see spirits, Pandora," you said with the most troubled expression. "I can see them anywhere if I try, and in some very specific places when they choose. Lestat saw the ghost of Roger, his victim in Memnoch the Devil."Rice wrote] in the great tradition of the gothic' Ramsey Campbell, bestselling author of The Hungry Moon Magnificent and electrifying, The Vampire Armand tells the tale of the mesmerising leader of the vampire coven, the Theatre des Vampires in Paris. Esperaba mucho de (quizá el último libro de las crónicas) Principe Lestat(2014), trae a colación a casi todos los personajes de las crónicas, introduciendo a personajes nuevos. Su lectura se me hizo algo larga, ya que se detiene mucho en las conversaciones de los personajes y sus descripciones de los lugares quedan muy a medias; fue bueno que reviviera a ese vampiro ladino y hermoso de las crónicas, pero no cumplió con mis expectativas. I gave a sigh--surprised and gently fascinated to find you so articulate, skeptical, yet so sharply and frankly connected to the others.
