Anne sold her house before the flood. Her writings were another aspect of the ambience to New Orleans. The Serpent and the Rainbow is something wicked to read. There is a movie available. I don't know if voodoo has similair interest to you as vampires. But pirates are cool.
The Vampire Lestat is cool, I also liked Pandora a lot. Queen of the damned is nice, too...But Memnoch the devil isn't...it's just so goddam boring, I never read it to the end.
that sucks hun...hopefully though you find new job soon without you working on the weekends so you get to spend more time with your boyfirnd in your new flat. take care.
se nn le posti qui mi offendo!!!
