It has been a long while since I last read this book, so it completely passed me by when I watched the show, but there is a strong parallel in the Mayfair Witches show from a scene that happens in Blackwood Farm.

In this scene, the ghost of Julien Mayfair reveals to Quinn Blackwood that he is his ancestor, and he reveals the manner of how it came to be.

TW for rape by deception bellow:

This is very similar to the show, when Deirdre thinks she’s having sex with the young man she met at the party…

But it was actually Cortland, wearing a mask and a costume.

It’s only now that i’m well into my Merrick reread that I realized that there’s a book character that almost made it into the Interview With The Vampire show, even appeared in the script, but it was ultimately cut out; that would be Oncle Vervain.

The script describes him as a young Voodo Priest, and it’s not far from he is in the books. This is how Merrick first describes him:

In the books, Oncle Vervain is a member of the Mayfair family. He is Irene Flaurent Mayfair‘s brother; Irene Mayfair is better known by the name of Great Nananne. She was Merrick Mayfair’s godmother and also her great-great-grandmother.
