To the attention of Alt.vampires

 I would like the bring to the attention of all the Anne Rice 
Vampire lovers the exsitence of "The Vampire Lestat Fan Club", no 
doubt most of you have heard of it anyway, but just incase...

Anne Rice's Vampire Lestat Fan Club,
P.O. Box 58277,
New Orleans, LA 70158-8277


Also, here are some lovely vampiric quotes: 
"Red , the colour of blood, the colour of life, flowed so 
abundatly in this gloomy museum that it was like an 
intoxication...Red , so inscrutable and dense a colour, and 
harder to penetrate than a serpents eye" (From the 1845 Salon, I 
think).

"I know the taste of blood, I've eaten blood, human blood. Once 
during a happening in Mexico, my disciples drew a little blood 
from their arms. They collected it in a glass and offered it to me 
with some tequila...a sangria. I took the glass in my hands and 
started to improvise a long panic poem, trying to put off 
drinking it for as long as possible. By the time I decided to 
drink it the blood had coagulated. That day I had just finished 
reading Zanoni's works, so there was no turning back: I put my 
hand in the glass, scooped out the red gelatine and devoured it. 
At first it made me sick, nauseous. But almost immediately... as 
soon as I allowed myself to sense the taste of it, I felt an 
exquisite pleasure. It was the finest food my mouth had ever been 
fed: delicate, velvety, delicious. The next day I woke up with 
 the smoothest complexion...and a dry mouth."(Alejandro Jodorowsky 
in the book "El Topo")

"El ciclista es un vampiro de la velocidad"
-The cyclist is a vampire of speed (Ramon Gomez de la Cerna)

"Nur die Lebende stirbt, die Tote bleibt bei mir, und ewig ist 
unsere Umarmung"
-Only the living woman dies, the dead one stays with me, and our 
embrace is eternal. (From the tenth nightwatch of Bonaventuras' 
"Nachtwachen"
 
"One should let one's nails grow for a fortnight. Oh, how sweet it 
is to drag brutally from his bed a child with no hair on his 
upper lip and with wide open eyes, make as if to touch his 
forehead gently with one's hand and run one's fingers through his 
beautiful hair. Then suddenly, when he is least expecting it, to 
dig one's long nails into his soft breast, making sure, though, 
that one does not kill him; for if he died one would not later be 
able to contemplate his agonies. Then one drinks his blood as one 
licks his wounds; and during this time , which ought to last for 
eternity, the child weeps. There is nothing better than his blood 
drawn in the way I have just described, unless it be his tears, 
bitter as salt. Man, have you ever tasted your own blood, when by 
chance you cut your finger? How good it tastes, do you not 
think? For it has no taste."
(Comte de Lautreamont -  _Chants de Maldoror_ First book, sixth 
song, this is amongst many other vampiric instances in the songs, 
Maldoror clearly disassociates himself from mankind, yet he also 
states that he is not risen from the dead; however there are 
other instances where he speaks of sleeping in a coffin and 
digging his own grave)
