Drunk Book Club: Blood Communion, A Tale of Prince Lestat

Trash & Treasures

We rang in the new year with the latest...well, it's not really the Vampire Chronicles anymore, at least not in a way we can recognize it. The third book in the Prince Lestat series. Join us for an odd book that's barely long enough to be considered a novel, where all the antagonists are wrapped up by the 3/4 mark, and where the plot runs on granting wishes in the most monkey's paw-like style. It....it's bad, y'all. We say that a lot, but like this one is REAL bad. You can actually chart our souls leaving our bodies.
