hate your abuse fetish book and also you and your ugly prose

You know, this is actually pretty funny. The subject of IWTV, Louis de Pointe du Lac, he specifically spoke regularly during our interviews that he was not a victim of abuse at all. The narrative of an abuse/abuser scenario, as I'm sure he'd explain, is not so clear-cut in reality than we like to think it is. I'm sure he'd get a kick out of calling his story "abuse fetish." I'm just the messenger and interpreter of the bard's spinning of the yarn. And about my prose, it's an acquired taste, which I'm sure you'll enjoy once you're out of kindergarten.

A Fresh Coat of Paint

I've decided to get with the times and start an actual blog. Apparently this place is one of the last places on the Internet you can be mean to people and not get cancelled for it, so hopefully they'll like me here more than Twitter -- sorry, X. My name's Daniel Molloy, two-time Pulitzer winner, current disgrace to the investigative journalist community. I've been writing for almost half a century, and since God hasn't struck me down, that'll be continuing for the near future. If you're coming from Hate And Ashbury, thank you for reading my angry memoir. If you're coming from Interview With The Vampire, I don't care if you think it's an erotic thriller or a biting commentary on the predatory systems that run our world. I get money at the end of the day. And if you're here because some kid posted a video from my panels or interviews on TikTok, I hope I'm every bit as handsome and charismatic as I come across there. Send me questions. If you aren't a prick you might get an answer. Hell, if you are a prick, maybe I'll appreciate your tenacity. --Daniel Molloy (11/13/2025)

you've been married twice...any advice you'd give your younger self?

Come out sooner. Stop being such a coward. Maybe do less coke and heroin.

I don't enjoy trying to think on questions like this, because even those answers ring hollow in the present. I've been given a new lease on life, a rare chance to live more authentically now than before. The past to me regularly feels detached, as if it happened to someone else. So trying to linger on some fake possibility of time travel is just a distraction from what's going on now.

DANIEL MOLLOY HAS A TUMBLR. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL. EVERYONE HIDE YOUR OLD MAN YAOI

Guess someone had to be the town-crier. I googled "old man yaoi" and given the first couple of results, I can assure you, that's enough for one evening. I can't tell if this is genuine appreciation of old men in this category, a fetish, or something else. It just seems like gay porn with guys who have to use Viagra. Should I be flattered or offended?

pretty specific question here - will we ever get a follow up on armand? interview seems to leave him in a pretty bad spot, so i'm curious if you'll wrap back around to him after all this lestat business

If he wants to do a follow-up, it'll happen, but I'll let him come to me with the request.

Armand has so much in him, if I can risk talking about him. There is so much intensity that could possibly connect all sorts of strands of history together. I think there could be a lot that could be used in a larger historical focus.

But again, only if he wants to. I'm not holding anyone hostage.

What’s the weirdest, out of the box thing that’s happened to you during an interview?

Interviewing a woman who was in a conspiracy murder in the late 80s, just before I hit it "big" (as big as I can get as an investigative journalist writing about AIDS). I was working for a news agency and needed a story. Pressed to the point where she threatened to shit on the desk and force me to eat it, and thus she got tazed before she could take her pants off.

As far as human interviews go, that was pretty odd. But in terms of vampires, all of Dubai was a strange fever-dream that just kept going and going. Thanks for the memories, but glad I'm not fearing for my life every second anymore.

You should know that you have created a safe space for queer voices. Strangely enough

Hope it lasts, nowadays. Keep screaming!

I was a fan, but then you interviewed a capitalist. Class traitor

Then I guess you haven't been a fan since the '90s. I've interviewed plenty of capitalists who profit off of the harm of others. Thirty years late to the party, if you're complaining about Interview!
