    Summary

    “I said I’m fine, Alice,” Daniel snaps, and time itself grinds to a halt.

    Not literally. Ha. The things you have to specify with vampires. Daniel wishes he could laugh, but the sound is stuck somewhere in his throat, along with his heart. Now, of course, his hand chooses to be perfectly still.

    Why the fuck did he say that?

    Summary

    He would prefer to have Louis more accounted for. He would prefer to never worry about accounting for Louis ever again. Therein lies the kernel of conflict that has rubbed raw within him for all of his years—to cede control somehow without ever losing it.

     

    --

    Five snapshots of Louis and Armand's seventy-seven years together. Armand guards the gates of their paradise. Daniel nevertheless slithers through.

    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

    They have been locked in a slowly decaying orbit for some time now, passing close but avoiding the destructive inferno of a full collision. If Armand tries to abandon his fledgling completely, some irresistible urge draws him back. If Daniel claims to want nothing to do with his maker, some morbid streak of pathological curiosity keeps him talking. So it has been now for a while—a stalemate of mutual fixation.

    ---

    Daniel and Armand engage in a friendly conversation about memory, mercy, and that which lingers on.

    Summary

    In the years after his strange encounter in 1973, Daniel Molloy is plagued by frequent episodes of insomnia. He wakes up in the middle of the night, heart racing, certain that something in the dark is watching him.

    And maybe something, or someone, is. But in the morning, Daniel Molloy never remembers a thing.
