Step into the shadows this December as we dive into one of gothic literature’s most seductive and haunting classics.

Anne Rice’s *Interview with the Vampire* redefined the vampire myth—transforming monsters into tragic, complex souls and setting the stage for a new era of dark, romantic storytelling. Whether you’re reading it for the first time or revisiting its lush decadence, this book is sure to spark a fascinating conversation.

**About the Book:**
Told through a mesmerizing interview, the novel chronicles the life (and unlife) of Louis, a reluctant vampire sharing his tale of loss, immortality, and moral conflict. As his story unfolds, we meet the charismatic and cruel Lestat, the eerie child-vampire Claudia, and a world where love, guilt, and hunger intertwine in unforgettable ways.

**Discussion Topics:**

* The transformation of the vampire myth—how does Rice humanize the undead?
* The emotional and moral depth of Louis versus the flamboyant amorality of Lestat.
* Gothic atmosphere and sensual prose: how does Rice’s writing style shape the mood?
* The story’s philosophical undertones - immortality, sin, and the search for meaning.

**Event Details:**
📅 **Date:** December 6th
📍 **Location:** Vancouver (Faubourg Coffee Shop on Hornby)

☕ Come for the discussion, stay for the company—whether you’re a long-time fan or a curious newcomer, everyone’s welcome!

🕯️ Come sink your teeth into a night of dark beauty, deep conversation, and maybe a little mischief.
