I have read Anne Rice's vampire novels, not all of them but enough to get a clear impression of her writing style, characterisations and settings for her work. Interview with the Vampire, for me, largely misses the mark on each and every count.The characters don't feel like the Rice's, they lack the personality and finesse, she infused her characters with. The time period/setting is in many respects, off the mark, too. Worse still, there's is politic's infused into this work. There's a dash of rather obvious negative Russian messaging and yet more woke-ism, I personally, could have done...
