The Vampire Chronicles books exist in-universe, so does the movie Interview With the Vampire, with Tom Cruise, also exist?

What is the current thought on character images for the book series specifically? Currently there is a mix of images from the two movies, but because they are adaptations (and often the actors don't match the book descriptions) would it be more appropriate to use some of the other official images that exist more specifically tied to the books from things like the Innovation Comics, Claudia's Story, illustrated versions of the books, etc? Not to remove these actors from the pages entirely, but maybe to move images from the adaptations to their own sections.

I’m a little confused… or it’s possible that I am misremembering the books, but in order to conceive a Taltos don’t BOTH parents have to double the amount of chromosomes? Which is why Michael and Rowan (or Lasher and Rowan- paternity was left unclear) were able to have a Taltos child (Emaleth)?

So on this garbage of an adaptation on AMC, how did Rowan and Cip conceive a Taltos? Michael was a Mayfair but Cip is normal.

Why doesn't the vampire chronicles wiki have information on Rice's other supernatural novels? Violin, The Mummy Ramses, The Wolf's Gift or The Servant of Bones? This fandom wiki is supposed to be about all of Anne Rice's supernatural universes, isn't there anyone who is responsible for opening the other wikis for Anne's other novels?

I cant remember all their names-akasha, enkil, marius, the rest I cant recall their names but if they show up in the tv show who do you want to play them?

Almost everywhere you look on the internet- wikipedia, google, this fandom page, lots of forums- everyone claims that Lestat's birthday was on November 7th, 1760. My question is where are we getting that date from? I've looked through the first five books and "word searched" thru pdfs I've dug up to find any mention of such a particular date; but I haven't found it any of those three books.

The closest mention I've seen is at the start of The Vampire Lestat, where Lestat mentions that he is twenty-one when he sets out to kill the wolves, during "the last decades before the French revolution". If the revolution starts in 1789 and we assume he's writing about sometime in the 1770s, that puts the 1760 birth year into question.

He briefly mentions being 200 hundred at the start of Body Thief, which is set in 1990 (though we can assume he's not being exact).

Does anyone know why we all silently agreed on November 7th, 1760? Is there some later date mentioned we can backtrack from? Or does he explicitly say "I was born November 7th" in a later book? It's just odd to me that no one has said where this detail comes from- but everyone has agreed upon it.

I love Akasha the Queen of the Damned. So, If she drinks my blood, I will become a vampire. I will do anything for Akasha the Queen of the Damned. It’s very kind of her when she calls me her king. Akasha the queen of the Damned wants me to rule all mankind with her. I have tell Akasha the queen of the damned the truth. I have feelings for her. I will bow to Akasha the queen of the Damned, if that’s what she really want. I fell in love with Akasha the Queen of the Damned. I had a crush on her.

I did not read the vamp chronicles books but I did see queen of the damned and I heard these characters are from the books

Marius

Akasha

Emil

The ancients

Jesse

I cant recall the name of the character in the movie but he was played by former dr who paul mcgann

Memnoch the devil(not shown in queen of damned but is from the books)

Is there any way to change the title of this wiki to something more inclusive of all Anne Rice's work and adaptations? Especially since characters overlap.

Working on my re-read of the Mayfair Witches series and slowly adding info to this wiki. Please feel free to join me or edit what I add. Again, this is the book characters, NOT the show. (I was somewhat unimpressed by the show. Glad to have it on screen, but very much missing Michael and Aaron and all the characters surrounding Michael. :-( )

The werewolves/The Gift Wolf, the mummy/Ramses the damned, the genius/servant of the bones, none of these works are included in the immortal universe? I believed they were also part of it, but apparently it's just witches and vampires, right?
