Remember in IWTV: The Book when the American Civil War is about to happen and Anne Rice is like "hm, I don't want to deal with the implications of that since my protagonists are white plantation-holding slave-owning vampires in the deep South. I'm going to solve this plot problem by putting them on a boat to Europe in [checks notes] 1860"
#Anne Rice was SO unserious ajdbdjfjg#'Nothing to see in the New World'#Like I am glad she didn't try because it would have been terrible but lmfao#It's like she was writing her vampire story in its atmospheric historical setting and got jumpscared by#History qua History asserting itself into her world of History-as-Ambiance lmao
