Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire

Well interview with a vampire has always been interesting. I never read the book until now. And I have watched the movie. When it comes to gothic horror I never really l think of vampires. I think of something like Blood Bourne the game. But that is more Lovecraft and gothic horror. I digress the book was weirdly peaceful in its day to day then horror aspect. I never really like Lestat just being the over looming figure of death and change. Then the protagonists run but let’s not forget to set everything on fire. Which is a noticeable pattern. I suppose the author did that to symbolize rebirth change. Maybe even scorched earth. Another gothic aspect was a character and until this book never really accorded to me that a girl that’s a women. Be down rite creepy pathetic dark all at once. You petty her and to be honest when she was burned alive. I was happy since she didn’t have to live as a girl with the mind of a woman. Which sounds like its own ring of hell. The interviewer at the end also caught my attention asking predictably to be turned into a vampire and I was happy to read. That Louis was going to leave him for dead. In conclusion the book was an interesting read. With gothic characters with dark interesting background. The villain was boring and barely relatable. But overall the book held my attention entertained me on its gothic aspects nothing more to it.
