I agree that after
Memnoch the entire vampire race was as good as dead: not quite sure why she had to do that, seemed a real "Christianity wins mother****ers!" kind of thing to do. So then as you say all there was was to go backwards and do stories from before that time. Kind of annoyed she basically abandoned the vampires to go on the Godsquad, though whatever I guess, it's her life. Haven't read the "new" Lestat novels yet, though I feel Marius would have a very interesting backstory.
Apparently she's about to delve into the world of, um, werewolves next?
