Goodreads asked Issara Simone Edwards:

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

Issara Simone Edwards I've thought about this a lot and it would be Anne Rice's world of The Vampire Chronicles. Not because I want to meet Lestat or anything like that, for me it's more of a 'Merrick' situation. Merrick wanted to become a vampire not because she wanted to be a vampire but because she wanted the freedom to walk the night without the fear that plagues a lot of women. She wanted to be stronger than any predator lurking in the dark, she wanted the freedom of power and agency over herself. I think that's the appeal of the vampire world for me, it's not immortality, it's the freedom to be fearless in a world that can seem not meant for you and out to get you.
