To the people saying “But Anne Rice okayed this and was Executive producer! That means she made it!” (in regard to the AMC shows)

Noooo she didn't. Do you know what executive producer means? It means... very little. Stan Lee was credited as Executive Producer on all Marvel properties since his retirement (in the early 80s) until the day of his death. Every Marvel property, including ones he never saw like the Scifi Channel's Man-Thing. Orson Welles was once offered Executive Producer status on a film he starred in and he said "Why? Executive Producers don't DO anything." Tim Burton (the director) didn't even know Francis Ford Coppola was Executive Producer of Sleepy Hollow until he saw the trailer. Anne Rice SOLD the rights OUT right, that includes creative control. She had NO hand in it at all. She was f--king dead before filming started! Executive producer status until time of death = a contractual clause in the SELLING of the TV and movie rights to the stories.Please stop repeating the spin-control and learn how to check the facts.

Anne Rice’s estate, including her official Facebook page, and her son (who is also credited as Executive Producer) won't mention either show in any positive or negative context in public. They can use an NDA contract to keep Christopher Rice from saying anything bad about the show. But they also cannot force him to promote it if he hates it. His silence says a lot.

Mayfair Witches

AMC has been adapting some Anne Rice works. Interview With A Vampire generated more buzz, but they're also doing a series based on Lives of the Mayfair Witches. One season has aired and it was renewed for a second season.

I read The Witching Hour, the first book in the series, back in my early days of incest shipping. I don't remember why I decided not to read the other two books in the series. I was surprised to find that there aren't any posts about the series on the blog at all. The Mayfair family is one of those families. I remember the book having a lot of canon incestuous relationships, particularly within the history of the family.)

I had been sitting on the series for a while but finally watched it this week because I thought it was suitable for Halloween. It was very Halloween-y, but not very incest-y, unfortunately.

The historical incest in the family isn't addressed at all. Particularly, the daughter of the first Mayfair witch continued the family line with her own father. That was one of the parts of the book that definitely made an impression and I remember it being more than a couple of passing sentences. Imagine my surprise (!) when it wasn't in the show at all. But I'll concede that it's possible they're saving it for a later season. But it seemed to me they wasted time on some side plots when they could have shown us some of Rowan's ancestors.

The main character of the series is Rowan, who lives in the present day. I remember her being the least interesting part of the book. I was much more interested in the history of the family. And Rowan is 99% of the show with almost no family history, except a bit with the first Mayfair witch and Rowan's mother.

There was incest in the series but it wasn't consensual. Rowan's father turns out to be her mother's uncle. He raped her while she was unconscious, it seemed. I don't remember it from the book. He was trying to get her pregnant, it was why he did it.

I'll probably continue watching the series hoping for more nuggets from the history of the family, but I was disappointed overall. Although I do think it was well made. It has great atmosphere. Lasher wasn't the way I pictured him which was an issue for me, but that's what happens in screen adaptations, it's not their fault. Although they changed plenty and I don't love adapters who approach source material that has been popular for decades thinking it needs to be fixed. (Though I will raise a glass to the few changes for the better in the history of movie adaptations. Like the Flowers in the Attic series.)

The opening credits are awesome. I wish we had gotten the show that matched the opening credits.

I just think it's hilarious that I watched this a few days after The Fall of the House of Usher and basically got the same thing.

Here's a Mayfair family tree:

I keep seeing 1 star reviews for the show from people who’ve read the books but 4-5 star reviews from people who haven’t. I know the AMC Anne Rice universes are going to converge (especially with the upcoming Night Island miniseries) and I want to make sure I’m getting the most out of everything!

A friend just referred to The Talamasca of Anne Rice's novels as "The MIB of Magick." And... They're not wrong.

Adaptaciones de libros a Películas y series en 2023

Todos los años vemos un sinnúmero de libros que son adaptados a películas. Adaptaciones que van de lo mejor a lo peor y todos los matices en la escala. Y, aunque, por lo general, los amantes de los libros salimos del cine diciendo “El libro fue mejor”, tenemos que aceptar que las películas tienen su propio encanto. Lo que no podemos es juzgar la película en el mismo contexto del libro. Tenemos…
