Ashley and Joel are back in the saddle to discuss the third Vampire Chronicle, Queen of the Damned. This sprawling historical fantasy epic leads to some great conversation about what makes Anne’s vampires stick out from the rest of the supernatural pack, and why we’re still so anxious to see and read their stories 30 years plus later.

Joel is running solo to discuss the latest Vampire Chronicle, Blood Communion, just out in early October 2018. Don't worry if you haven't read the book, we start off spoiler free so join us if you haven't already purchased your copy and see if this adventure is for you.

If you've finished the book, like Joel, stick around for some spoiler discussion (all as the preamble to our eventual full episode when the fanbase at large has caught up).

It's a short one, (both the book and this episode) but there's meat (or at least a lot of blood) in this one.

(Originally published in August 2018 after the announcement of Hulu's production of The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. This production fell apart & eventually became AMC's adaptation.)

Ashley and Joel needed to regroup more quickly than normal to discuss the announcement that Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles TV Series has found a home on Hulu!!!

AND, hear Ashley and Joel’s thoughts on Handmaid’s Tale and Castle Rock from Hulu, two very different adaptations of great literature. What can they tell us about what we’ll see for Lestat and our vampires?

From 32 minutes on, Ashley and Joel go into SPOILERS for Handmaid’s Tale season one and two.

At 48 minutes it’s SPOILERS for Castle Rock season one through episode 6, The Filter.
