Anne Rice's "Interview with the Vampire" isn't just a vampire story; it's a raw, aching question: What do you do with forever?
Louis, our narrator, bleeds his soul onto the page, grappling with immortality's weight. It's not about fangs and blood, though there's plenty of that. It's about the relentless aloneness of a life that never ends, the constant wrestling with right and wrong when those lines blur into darkness.
Lestat is a masterclass in how to wield your pain as a weapon. He's a reminder that unchecked power, untethered from empathy, devours everything in its path. He's the villain we secretly understand, the one who whispers, 'What if I just... took everything I wanted?' He's the shadow side we're all afraid to admit we recognize.
Rice delivers a tale about the messy, beautiful, brutal search for meaning, even when you think you have all the time in the world. She reminds us that even monsters are just trying to figure it out.
