"I saw nothing but that light then as I drew blood. And then this next thing, this nenxt thing was...sound. A dull roar at first and then a pounding like the pounding of a drum, growing louder and louder, as if some enormous creature were coming up on one slowly through a dark and alien forest, pounding as he came, a huge drum. And then there came the pounding of another drum, as if another giant were coming yards behind him, and each giant, intent on his own drum, gave no notice to the rhythm of the other. The sound grew louder and louder until it seemed to fill not just my hearing but all my senses, to be throbbing in my lips and fingers, in the flesh of my temples, in my veins. Above all, in my veins, drug and then the other drum. I checked myself because I realize that the drum was my heart, and the second drum had been his. "

It's been a few years since the last time I read any of the Vampire Chronicles; yet, I know precisely which part of which book this fragment is from, who's drinking whose blood, why, where, etc. And there were really many blood-drinking scenes in the series. I must have been really crazy about this book. Louis. xp
