An in-depth exploration of Anne Rice's Lives of the Mayfair Witches novels and her extraordinary literary career

Come Into My Parlor first launched in June 2008. Tripod Lycos hosted it from then until mid-2025. I've just learned Lycos had announced on their site that Tripod and Angelfire would be going down permanently. There is a Reddit post from nearly three weeks ago that discusses this.
Tripod and Angelfire are/were relics of the early Internet. I would have loved to see them catch up with current technology. I am actually sad that that didn't happen.
Let me be clear. The Parlor recognizes Tripod Lycos with gratitude for its having hosted the website for so many years and for its positive contributions as a pioneer of the early Internet. My words here are a reflection of that and nothing else.
In case it hasn't gone completely down for good yet and you own a website you're able to see online, you might want to take the opportunity to archive your site with Wayback Machine. It is part of Internet Archive.
I did this with the Original Parlor website. To get an idea of what Wayback Machine can do, have a look at The Archive on this site. There are links for each page of the Parlor that are archived on Wayback Machine.
In a new digital age of AI chatbots and automated traffic, yes I am. I am going to "light a (digital) candle" for Tripod.

Welcome to Come Into My Parlor...Chronicles of the Mayfair Witches, the new home of the Mayfair Witches Parlor! This website is an in-depth exploration of Anne Rice's Lives of the Mayfair Witches series of novels.
Site History
Site History
My website, from its original launch on Tripod Lycos in 2008 to its new home here, and including any other platforms and social media, is a project of my own creation. It is not an official site or officially affiliated site related to Anne Rice or to the AMC series (any of them).
It is my ongoing "labor of love". It is also full of content that I created, including text, which I write myself unless otherwise clearly stated. Even though my site is not and never has been monetized, what's mine is mine and what is not mine is used under the Fair Use Doctrine. Click on Privacy and Terms of Use below for the Copyright Chill Pill--I mean Disclaimer.
If the Anne Rice Estate or AMC/Immortal Universe wants to use something of mine as an idea for a project, they won't be getting sued for it because they have a blanket permission slip to use it for free. This means they have my permission to use it.
Everyone else, behave. This isn't Watts Island.
Launched in June 2008, the Parlor grew to include several pages with a wide range of topics. All have appeared in Anne Rice's Lives of the Mayfair Witches series in one way or another. This was one of Anne Rice's literary gifts--the ability to bring together a number of ideas, details, people, places, history and preternatural beings and make them all work together to tell a story.
In the wake of Anne's passing, the Parlor and its online presence have been rededicated to her memory and to the preservation of her literary legacy.
The website is large, and there is a lot to see! In the top left corner of each page of the Parlor, you will see a hamburger button. Click on it to open the Parlor's navigation menu. Pages have been organized by category. Each category with subpages has an arrow that you can click on to see which pages are in that submenu.
Please stay a while, explore and have fun!
