gay

i don’t know how this is considered a modern classic the writing isn’t very good and the characters are very flat and boring. the tv show and movie really bring the characters to life and create a dynamic story where this is just a pedophilic rambling queer bait story. 

what do you mean “her breasts crushed against his chest”?!?!? she’s 5!!!!! 

i was informed that Anne Rice named claudia after her deceased child. Yes, the heavily sexualized female vampire stuck in the body of a 5 year old named after her very own child. perhaps she should go to therapy instead of writing a book.

also dear god why are there no chapters in this book!!?

The plot follows Louis recounting his vampirical life story to a reporter with a tape recorder. An interesting premise that sadly is boring to read but great to watch/listen to. Louis is changed by another vampire, Lestat, who is very selfish and largely frivolous in manner. Lestat wanted a mindless companion which is very queer coded and although Louis does seem attracted to Lestat it is overall an abusive and unhealthy relationship that peaks when Lestat baby traps Louis with a 5 year old vampire, Claudia.

This book can be credited for creating the modern vampire story and I find it interesting how even here vampires are inherently gay but over all the story was lacking and extremely uncomfortable to read with multiple instances of weird pedophilic behavior (ie. Claudia sexualized all the  time, the two boys that Claudia presents to Lestat as a present, and the young boy Armand keeps). My only conclusion is that Anne Rice herself is a pedophile.?
