Lestat at the Indie bookstore

All of the books seen on display in the recent trailer for The Vampire Lestat, where Lestat buys Interview with the Vampire and has a lil temper tantrum. Many thanks to the Reddit Sleuths who found/compiled this.

I spat my drink at this list title!!!! I can't believe you've done this 💀

Hi! I also spotted Giovanni's Room (cover designed by Beauford Delaney), Foster by Claire Keegan, and I believe a hardcover copy of Carmilla in one of the corners? Love this!

4

The lore implications of Carmilla existing in the IWTV TV show world are staggering! Excellent finds!

I think it exists in the books as well! The vampires have a bunch of bars named after literary and film vampires. I wonder if businessman Louis could own them in the show universe?

3

Oh, right, I completely forgot about that!! Honestly I could see TV Louis as being into franchising.

I love that for them, give vampires a bit of irony as a treat

I saw Yellowface right under Martyr and Atmosphere.

I noticed it too! I can't wait to really comb over this when the show comes out LOL. I can definitely connect many of the titles thematically with I think will come up in the show, but I have to wonder how many were picked because they were already on-site (the outside's been located as a real Montreal bookstore) or they were faves of the crew or it just did nice thing for the colors in the bg.

The Let Them Theory being here is iconic for him
