Anne Rice to Stephenie Meyer: "Lestat and Louie feel sorry for vampires that sparkle"
Over on Anne Rice's Facebook, the author of Interview with the Vampire has some interesting words about the undead creatures who sparkle. Her first post posed a bit of a loaded question, linking to an article from the University of North Dakota:
"And then there is this other really pressing issue: should vampires sparkle? Think before you speak! This is probably the most important issue facing our time!!! (I have a suspicion that Louis, Lestat and Armand will refuse to discuss this. But then you know how contrary and difficult they can be.)..."
She later revealed how her beloved characters Lestat and Louie would react to the Twilight creatures dreamed up by Meyer:
"Lestat and Louie feel sorry for vampires that sparkle in the sun. They would never hurt immortals who choose to spend eternity going to high school over and over again in a small town —— anymore than they would hurt the physically disabled or the mentally challenged. My vampires possess gravitas. They can afford to be merciful."
