He stood in the bathroom, door open to let the steam escape while drying his hair when he saw his wife walk past the door out of the corner of his eye. Setting the dryer down, he stepped into the hallway but seeing nothing, went to the bedroom door and opened it, only to find his wife sound asleep under the covers.

This is one of those questions that seemed difficult for me right up until I gave it five seconds of serious thought. The answer? The world of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. Hands down. No question.
I would seduce Lestat. I would follow him to his village in France, and I would find a way to become a part of his Vampire community, or I would gladly die trying.
There are many fictional worlds I love, but only one I'm in love with. The world of Lestat, Louis, Marius, Pandora, Armand and so many others is it. Equally violent and romantic, terrifying and beautiful.
I think I've been calling out to Lestat in my mind for the last 20 years or more...

The book I'm currently working on is a revisited idea from more than a decade ago. I had an idea for a story based upon horror concepts popularized by the survival horror genera of games from the early 2000's. At the time I thought this might work well for the basis of a series, and a starting point for something of a connected world of books and short stories. Since then, nearly all the fiction material I've written has connected or tied into this idea in many ways. This despite the fact that the book itself was never finished.
So when I decided that the other book I was working on at the time might need to go through some major revisions and rest a bit, I decided to revisit this old idea and use it as originally intended, though not as originally plotted. I reformatted the entire idea and story, and plan to publish it near the end of the year as a major starting point for the world of fiction material I'm in the process of working on.
