On a humid, cloudy August morning in New Orleans’s historic Garden District when single files of tourists are ushered along by their cheery guides on walking tours, live oaks covered in resurrection fern obscure this 1850s “transitional” style house from view. The Brevard-Rice house, as this Greek revival-Italianate building is called, was the last residence of author Anne Rice, (queen of the gothic and vampire renaissance in literature, long may she reign) in New Orleans before she moved to the West Coast. Anne and Stan Rice were known to have added many indoor modifications to their 19th century home. There was one particular modification, however, that my bookstagram friends would find interesting. It was supposed to be Stan Rice’s birthday gift to Anne, and the birthplace of her Mayfair witches books.

#maytbr wrap up: following @bayeringwithfreshmen ‘s example I set out to read a #rainbowstack for my #maytbr and spoiler alert, it was a fantastic suggestion and one I’ll repeat; especially when I find myself stuck in a genre.

Kicking off the Journal of Dracula Studies release party with some spooky stories. When Professor Curt Herr began researching vampire literature, the Transylvanian Society of Dracula sent him a chilly note: "When you hunt the vampire, the vampire hunts you." Join us this Saturday (and one Saturday a month after that) for more mysterious stories both on and off the page! #dracula #frankula #vampireliterature http://ow.ly/7Rz830gtLQS (at Rosenbach Museum & Library)

'The Vampire' by Heinrich August Ossenfelder

My dear young maiden clingeth Unbending fast and firm To all the long-held teaching Of a mother ever true; As in vampires unmortal Folk on the Theyse's portal Heyduck-like do believe. But my Christine thou dost dally, And wilt my loving parry Till I myself avenging To a vampire's health a-drinking Him toast in pale tockay.

And as softly thou art sleeping To thee shall I come creeping And thy life's blood drain away. And so shalt thou be trembling For thus shall I be kissing And death's threshold thou' it be crossing With fear, in my cold arms. And last shall I thee question Compared to such instruction What are a mother's charms?

🦁La Cour des Lions. Rawrr.🦁 From Lestat de Lioncourt in Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire to Sébastien Saint Germain’s la cour des lions in Renée Adieh’s The Beautiful, New Orleans’s fictional vampires seem to have a long literary history of leonine associations. Did you catch the gorgeous lion engraving on the clothbound hardcover of The Beautiful? #neworleans #neworleanshomes #neworleansbooks #frenchquarter #frenchquartervampires #thebeautiful #annerice #reneeahdieh #annericebooks #thevampirelestat #interviewwiththevampire #vampirebooks #vampireromance #romancebooks #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booklover #booklove #booknerd #annericefan #gothicliterature #vampireliterature #darkfantasy #bookclub #bookcommunity #bookishcoven #bookblogger (at FrenchQuarter NewOrleans) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTJEmfbLdgk/?utm_medium=tumblr

13th November 1785, birth of Lady Caroline Lamb, best known as the author of Glenarvon, and for her affair with Lord Byron in 1812, which resulted in her fall and ostracized her from society. After Byron ended the affair, she took her revenge on him by writing the novel in 1816. In the story the character Glenarvon corrupts the innocent young bride Calantha (Caroline herself) leading to their mutual ruin and death. In the book Byron is characterized as the rakish Lord Ruthven, the same name of the character used by John William Polidori in his story ‘The Vampyre’, published anonymously and attributed to Byron in 1819. Polidori, alongside Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, Mary Shelley, and her sister in law Claire Clairemont; were part of the ghost story competition held at the Villa Diodati, during the year without a summer in 1816. Alongside Polidori’s story, Mary Shelley’s story, would be published in 1818 as Frankenstein. Lamb is attributed to the famous epitaph when she described Byron as "mad, bad, and dangerous to know." 13th November 1792, birth of Edward John Trelawny, English sailor, traveler, author and friend to Romantic poets Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, and writer Mary Shelley, and her half sister Claire Clairmont. Trelawney arranged the funerals for both Percy Shelley in 1822, and Byron’s in 1824. Legend says that as Percy Shelley’s body was being cremated Trelawney reached into the fire and rescued Shelley’s heart before it burned. He then gave it to Mary, who kept it with her for 30 years until it was buried with their sun Percy Florence Shelley in 1889. Outliving all of the Romantic generation he retired to the countryside and wrote Records of Shelley, Byron, and the Author in 1878.

#bookreview 🔥 #thebeautiful by #reneeahdieh is perhaps the siren song that will reanimate #vampireliterature ‘s molting corpse. Set in the lush yet jagged streets of 1872 New Orleans, Celine Rousseau is running as hard and fast as she can from her harrowing past. • • •

Enter #bastienstgermain and Celine’s salacious banter topped with biting wit coupled with issues of interracial relationships and proper social norms of the time period and you’ve landed yourself squarely in the slowest and most painful of slow burn romances. • • •

#thebeautiful is for you if you’re even mildly interested in the following: - an equally charming and frustrating lead female protagonist in #celinerousseau - a seemingly ruthless yet aloof Cour de Lions and all the intrigue a city ruled by the inhuman can muster - a time period piece that is staunchly authentic - returning to a mindset pre-interracial marriage was acceptable and how a person was expected to hide or deny true parentage due to the “one drop rule” of the South

- the broodiest of brooding boys in #bastienstgermain - IMPECCABLE ZINGERS AND ONE LINERS that make #thebeautiful #quotable and #notable

@reneeahdieh thank you for bringing Vampire and Rougarou lit back for readers that have been missing it!
