Lestat faces a choice between the Devil or God. Memnoch presents Lestat with unimagined opportunities: to witness creation, to visit purgatory, to be treated like a prophet. While torn betwen his vampire world and his passion for Dora, Lestat is sucked in by Memnoch, who claims to be the Devil himself. At the same time, he is increasingly aware that the Devil knows who he is and wants something from him. Dora has moved Lestat like no other mortal ever has, and he cannot get her out of his visions.

In response, Lestat himself responded (through Anne Rice), writing ''Mr. see you in court.” Copeland filed a defamation suit against Rice when he learned that she was planning on opening a restaurant nearby called Café Lestat. Copeland fired back with a two-page ad touting the restaurant’s “classic” design and saying he was going to add a little more garlic to the menu, keep a crucifix under his pillow, and carry a wooden cross. Right before Mardi Gras that year, Rice took out a full-page ad apologizing to visitors and locals for the “monstrosity” and saying that it in no way represented our city.
