I could not remember the ending from prior reading or the movie, so I was able to read it as if it were the first time and find myself pleasantly disturbed by the possibilities of how the story could unfold.
Despite the creativity with what vampirism means in th Anne Rice's world, I would definitely call this book classic horror, with the twist being that these vampires are not mindless monsters. They may be monsters, but the nuance of what makes each of them a monster is what makes them compelling.
