🦇How challenging is it going to be?🦇
While the focus of this trivia is Interview with the Vampire (the book and the TV show) you do NOT have to be an expert on either.

We will be asking questions about pop culture vampires, literary vampires, and vampire related media. If you're nervous about your vampire knowledge, we recommend reading the synopsis for Anne Rice's books and for the TV show just so you have a good idea of what we'll be touching on. Or if you don't want to study, make sure to join a group with at least one IWTV fan.

Otherwise, it's about having fun hanging out with awesome book people! There will be refreshments, books for sale, prizes for the winners AND the losers so there's something for everybody who attends.

Let us know if you have any more questions!
