(Quotes from 'Memnoch the Devil' and 'The Vampire Armand')
An iceberg chart of some of the Vampire Chronicles' ships.
There's a reason why The Devil's Minion chapter in ‘Queen of the Damned’ is so iconic. It's so good it made Anne Rice realize Armand wasn't "evil".
The author and creator of this character made him a "villain" in the first two books.
And she was planning on having him play an active role in the third book.
That was until she began writing through Daniel's perspective. That was when she realized he wasn't a "villain"... he was something else.
The real tragedy was... that Anne never explored it further even if she truly wanted to.
... but we still got the iconic chapter that changed it all.
Everyone bow down to "The Story of Daniel, the Devil's Minion, or the boy from Interview with the Vampire".
(Quotes from 'The Vampire Companion')
Poor Daniel.
Me, trying to make a comprehensive map of all the relationships in the Vampire Chronicles:
I feel that we talk too little about this moment from 'Prince Lestat', and I get it, it's something.
But can we talk about the other vampires's reaction to it?
Armand and Louis were soooo into that. They were dripping wet.
"There was some other element in it, which I couldn't define" He's turned on, Lestat! Louis and Armand are telephatically plotting your erotic downfall under their very roof.
They have been sharing Trinity Gate for ten years and in that moment all they could think about was which underground vault they could use and abuse without tearing down the foundations.
(Quotes from 'Prince Lestat')
Anne Rice talking about exploring equality between lovers and finding an opening through the male/male perspective.
(Quote from 'Prism of the Night: A biography of Anne Rice')
For centuries Armand was content to come back to Louis instead of making another. And even when he did make another, it all came back to Louis 🤧
