content: Taltos, shmaltos, who cares about these evolutionary deadend salamanders. God has Lestat turned into a bore of a vampire. Do us a favor Lestat fly into the sun. Anne Rice has taken a great franchise and turned it into a loser. And these Mayfairs, what a bunch of dreary people they have turned out to be. Especially that Mona, pining away over her mutant daughter Morrigan, hoping that Mother and Father can be brought back out of the deep freeze. Oh for the good old days of the Vampire Chronicles!
