My girlfriend was a tomato. Like, a giant anthropomorphic tomato. I had to fight these shady men in black type people who wanted to research her or something, and I was afraid when I got her back I’d hug her too hard and squish her.

Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire seems to me to be lovechild of The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dracula, and No Exit.

Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, because Louis is primarily drawn to vampirism as it awakens the senses and reveals the rich hidden beauty of the world. Louis observes life with an impressionist painter’s eyes and is on a quest to contextualize the beauty of humanity around him, that which he can’t himself partake in. Like Dorian, he’s immortal and invincible, but he has paid for this infinity of living with his soul and his humanity. Borne of evil himself, he can only behold goodness and beauty by gazing at the canvas. Also, gay.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula, because the novel pays homage to 19th-century Gothic literature. This time, the vampiric monster is the protagonist, the Byron, the anti-hero, the person we’re forced to sympathize with. The novel answers questions Jonathan Harker never bothers to ask: Where did Dracula come from? What does he feel? What does he want? What is human within him? Rice’s novel further enriches the vampirical canon by situating Louis, who believes himself to be a child of the devil, as the moral heart of the story. We are left wondering how much of Dracula, Stoker’s villain, had remained human upon his death.

Jean-Paul Sartre’s No Exit, because the characters are living an undead existence of angoisse and our vampires can’t handle their infinite, solitary existence without companionship. Their loneliness is hell, but we learn through the dynamic between Louis, Lestat, and Claudia that “hell is other people” also. Louis is grappling with the existentialist question of how to give his life meaning, trying to discover the essence of himself and vampirism, struggling to take action and evade cowardice. The Sartrian idea that existence is inherently meaningless and vampires are cursed with the burden of endless consciousness is the hell Louis can’t bear.

#another point is that iwtv humanizes the monster which is exactly what 19th century horror readers didn’t care for lol #rice preys on our morbid fascination with the grotesque by making the monster the protagonist and then she says HAH HE’S A SOFTBOI #when louis burns down the theatre that’s when he learns l’existence précede l’essence #he learns that vampirism has no essence and that only actions can give life meaning and create outcomes #and well his wandering of the globe in search of beauty while fighting with the evil of vampirism deep within?#the most dorian-coded thing ever #iwtv #interview with the vampire #lestat de lioncourt #anne rice #claudia de lioncourt #dracula #bram stoker #tpodg #oscar wilde #dorian gray #jean paul sartre #no exit #huis clos #existentialism #gothic lit #english lit #vampires #spooktober #halloween #iwtv meta #spooky season #book blog

Since we're doing vampires vs werewolves on Art Fight this year, I'm legally obligated to try and revive my vampire OC I think I'm gonna name her Charlotte? For now at least? Idk

I'm gonna copy paste the blurb I typed out for her on Art Fight. Also here's the link to my art fight profile if you're interested.

🦇 Info 🦇 Born approximately 1785 Upper middle class family, somewhere on the east coast (idk where yet) Turned vampire ~1810s (so she was in her early to mid 20s)

🦇 Backstory 🦇 The story goes a vampire attacks Charlotte in her home. Her husband, Lucius, witnesses the attack and is powerless to stop it. The vampire drags Charlotte's body away. Lucius and a band of locals search and search for Charlotte but ultimately can only assume she was killed.

Lucius stays in that big empty house and never remarries. 30 year pass by, and there is never any sign of Charlotte or the man who attacked her.

A young widow in a black veil begins appearing at the gate to Lucius' home, leaving behind letters. The curls in her handwriting, the words she uses, even seeing the way she stands behind the fence, it all reminds him of his late wife all those years ago.

Eventually, he agrees to have dinner with her in his home.

They talk about their lives. He gives her his condolences for her late husband, and tells her of his wife and how they grew up together. He thought he would spend all their lives together…

The widow is, of course, Charlotte in disguise.

She only wanted to hear that Lucius had a happy life. That he'd moved on and found a new wife and had lots of children. But he waited for her. Long after he should have given up. She wasn't going to reveal herself but now, how could she not?

She lifted her veil and he couldn't believe his eyes. How was she still alive? How had she not aged a day since she was taken from him? But where has the life in her eyes gone?

Charlotte probably should have asked before turning him into a vampire, but she figured he would forgive her later.

Lucius doesn't have a design yet 🧍‍♀️ hopefully I will get that done before art fight
