Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Easy first question: Who narrates the book?

Answer: Lestat

This is the first book in Lestat's point of view since "Memnoch the Devil".

2. What does Lestat want to be in the opening line of the book?

Answer: a saint

"I want to be a saint. I want to save souls by the millions..."

3. Who is about to be turned into a vampire in the beginning of the book?

Answer: Mona

Mona is the Mayfair that Tarquin Blackwood fell in love with in "Blackwood Farm." She was dying and Lestat saved her.

4. What does the word "canticle" mean?

Answer: song or chant

Thus the meaning of the title of my quiz. The definition (from www.dictionary.com) is: "A song or chant, especially a nonmetrical hymn with words taken from a biblical text other than from the Book of Psalms."

5. Who does Lestat fall in love with in the book?

Answer: Rowan

Lestat falls in love with Rowan Mayfair and everyone seems to know it before he does. Her husband Michael is completely trusting of Lestat, however, even though he shouldn't be.

6. Tarquin Blackwood, narrator of the previous Vampire novel, is with Lestat through this book. What does Tarquin look like?

Answer: black hair, blue eyes, 6'4"

Lestat loves him and remarks about his height several times, sometimes hating that Tarquin is taller, and sometimes liking it.

Answer: No

You would think that if they worshiped the guy they'd at least mention their names, but they don't.

8. What fatal disease did Mona have that no one could cure?

Answer: Its name isn't mentioned

The disease had something to do with her uterus and the baby she delivered in "Taltos", but the name of it is never mentioned, and she is spared when Lestat gives her the dark blood.

9. Lestat, Quinn, and Mona go in search of Mona's daughter, Morrigan. Who gives Lestat directions and warnings about where to find the "secret people"?

Answer: Maharet

Lestat sends out a telepathic message to Maharet, and she replies via e-mail through the Talamasca, telling him he should get his own e-mail account.

10. Keeping with the theme, what is the name of the man who took over and killed, or enslaved, all the "secret people"?

Answer: Rodrigo

Rodrigo and his cronies killed nearly all of the "secret people" and enslaved three that are mentioned by name: Miravelle, Oberon, and Lorkyn.

11. Who is the woman who keeps her telephone in her "ice box"?

Answer: Tante Oscar

Tante Oscar is a friend of Dolly Jean Mayfair(from "Taltos") who tells Rowan about vampires after she sees Louis walking around.

12. What happens to Rowan when she sees Mona for the first time after she's fled the hospital?

Answer: she goes insane

In the witch series, Rowan went through so much trauma that she became almost catatonic. After seeing Mona and realizing she's "dead", Rowan becomes obsessed with digging holes in her yard and burying people alive in them (though she never actually buries anyone).

13. Who is haunting Lestat throughout the book?

Answer: Julien

Julien is only looking out for the best interests of his kin, Mona. He shows up numerous times, and sometimes he brings along Stella Mayfair as a child.

14. Where are the bodies of Mona's daughter and her lover?

Answer: A freezer

Mona, Tarquin, and Lestat are led by one of Morrigan's daughters to where her body and the body of Ash, her lover, lie.

15. Another ghost does a little bit of haunting in this book, too. The ghost targets Tarquin (and Jasmine), though Lestat is the one who gets rid of the spirit. Who is the ghost?

Answer: Patsy Blackwood

Patsy, Quinn's mother, is looking to avenge her death at the hands of her son. She comes to Jasmine's window in the middle of the night, the exact same time everytime, looking for Tarquin.

16. True or False: Louis and David show up at Blackwood Manor somewhere in the book and demand to know what happened to Merrick Mayfair.

Answer: False

Though Merrick is very dear to both David and Louis, neither seek out Lestat for answers.

17. Lestat dreams up a little scenerio in his head involving a religious figure. Who is this person?

Answer: Pope John Paul II

Lestat mentioned John Paul II in the beginning of the book, and sometime later, regarding his desire to become a saint.

18. Who is the member of the Talamasca that helps the Mayfair family?

Answer: Stirling

David is a vampire and no longer in the Talamasca, Aaron died while investigating the Mayfair Witches and corruption within the Talamasca, Byron is a random name, and Stirling, the correct choice, appeared in the beginning of "Blackwood Farm".

19. What does Lestat want to put all his writing on?

Answer: T-shirts

"...Actually, I really don't want to write anything that can't be put on a T-shirt. Actually, I'd like to write only on T-shirts. Actually, I'd like to write whole novels on T-shirts. So you guys could say, 'I'm wearing chapter eight of Lestat's new book, that's my favorite..."

20. And finally, what does Lestat do at the end of the book, going against all his instincts and feelings?

Answer: Doesn't make Rowan a vampire

Lestat is desparately in love with Rowan, and even though she begs him to make her a vampire, he refuses her out of love, a first for him.
