In Between Days

Thursday.

We got up and went out into town there was a few last things we needed. We got what we needed and got back out of town ASAP. It was hell. 

We got back home to find Charlotte cat sitting and having coffee. Willow was very happy. We love that she has someone who loves her as much as we do. 

Later on my Christmas was made because Kev discovered we could watch Interview with the Vampire ( series) on Amazon Prime. Yes you have to buy it per episode but, like I care? I've been obsessed trying to find it somewhere to stream it since it was on in September in the US. 

Kev has been looking too and voila he found it for me... I've watched two episodes so far and will limit it to just two at a time like we did Wednesday on Netflix. It is stunning. Sam Reid who plays Lestat may as well be him. He is spot on. They've moved the story on to the 1910's, and it made the story flow. It didn't shy away from the gay relationship between Lestat and Louis like the movie did, it celebrated it in fact. The story the director and production put together is lush and rich and beautiful. It made me fall in love with Lestat more than before ( if that is at all possible) And Louis wasn't as whining... 

I might just have to dig the books out. The actual physical books that is. They'll no doubt be people who don't like the changes, the purists who like to tear everything down because it isn't faithful to Anne's vision blah blah blah. She however did give her blessing to the show, which she never did the movie. She's gone now bless her, but she would have no qualms about this version of the Brat Prince. I'm always about sticking to books, but this time moving it forward in time and making Louis Creole works and actually makes more sense. 

I can't enthuse enough about this take on one of my most loved stories and I don't really care that others will pick holes in it. I am too busy being enthralled by the tale being told and Mr Reid's Lestat to mind what anyone else thinks. 

Just know that me being able to watch this has made my Christmas. Its the best possible present for me. Because I thought I'd never get to watch it. 

So thank you Kev for hunting it down for me. 

Added to which the same company who have made this are also going to be doing another of Anne's series of books that I love The Mayfair Witches. Which intertwine with the Vampire Chronicles so much. Yay...
