18. Are you an Anne Rice fan? (if not skip the rest of the questions!) Of course!
19. How long have you been a fan? Since Interview with the Vampire the film came out (1994)
20. What struck you about Anne Rice as an author, why was she special to you? I read the first three vampire books straight through after seeing the film. The film got me first because the characters were so real, even though they were vampires. Her description, her stories, everything just made me want to read more and that hasn't changed. I think many Anne Rice fans empathize with the vampires or the witches because they are different, outsiders, non-conformist, non-ordinary
21. Favourite AR book? The Vampire Lestat, followed by The Witching Hour
22. Favourite AR character? Lestat
