It will never not be funny. Most people watching the show right now will think they're coming into a haunting gothic horror series.... and it's just fucking not.

Anne Rice novels are the most unserious works ever. Lestat is a fucking rockstar. 

I'm almost thirty, so the closest millennial equivalent I have to give that could make someone understand JUST how unserious this series is.... is think back to like 2009-2010 ff.net fanfics where Post-New Moon Bella became a rockstar and got super famous and the Cullen had to watch her tear into them with Avril Lavigne lyrics.

I am so tired. I love this flaming disaster of a vampire.

Epic, homoerotic, emotional, and imaginative. Reading this felt like I was transported into another time. I can see why this hasn't been turned into a movie yet--how to adapt this long novel and have a movie be under 3 hours long? Impossible. I might do a more in-depth review, but honestly, I don't see how.
