    Summary

    The thing about Danny Molloy is that watching someone burn alive in front of him doesn’t make him stop smoking. It just makes him bad at it.

    Summary

    He sees himself as the boy sees him. Blurry, at first. Indistinguishable shapes, separated only by the glow of his eyes.

    And then like a veil lifting, he comes into focus. He becomes resplendent. He becomes ghastly. For some unknown reason, those two things merge into one concept.

    This boy thinks he’s never seen something more aweing. Armand, who kicked him until he cried. Who choked him until his vision went black. Who lifted him in the air, earlier, and threw him to the floor. Again, and again.

    It’s baffling.

    “A complete lack of self-preservation. A perversion towards that which harms you; is that what makes you fascinating?”

    Alternatively: Armand serves six days of penance. Daniel spends six days realizing just how fucked up he really is.

    Summary

    Nearly a year after his unexpected transformation into a vampire, Daniel Molloy is back in New York, taking a break from his documentary on emerging rock sensation The Vampire Lestat. And while Daniel is enjoying most of his new powers, he is finding the Mind Gift... a little difficult to resist.

    Enter Marius de Romanus, the ancient vampire philosopher who offers to guide Daniel through his fledgling journey and to tell him the real story of the Vampire Armand, the Maker who abandoned him. A tempting offer, although Daniel begins to find the line between truth and fiction increasingly difficult to perceive.

    Summary

    Daniel sees life like a river. Thinks he is caught up in a current that only goes one way, that will eventually sweep him out to sea. It’s easier for him to think so. It keeps him alive to think so.

    He doesn’t know that he could stand up and reach the bottom. He doesn’t know he has a choice.


    Drugs don’t work, sex doesn’t work, New York hasn’t worked. Somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains, an improbable number of suicides have taken place. Somewhere in a bar in New York, Daniel hears about them. He wants to fill a void. The difference between what is real and what isn’t matters as little to him as the things he’ll find to throw into the darkness. Which, as it turns out, is quite a lot.
