Re-telling the Christian story is the essence of my vocation. That has been going on since the Evangelists in one form or another.

Come on, say it again. I'm a perfect devil. Tell me how bad I am. It makes me feel so good!

Don't be a fool for the Devil, darling.

Oh Lestat, you deserved everything that's ever happened to you. You better not die. You might actually go to hell.
