" To be quite honest, I'm not as big a fan of Anne Rice's depiction of vampires as so many other scare themed cinema cinephiles are. Specifically speaking, I don't have a problem with her writing, just on what her twist to the folklore is. Particularly at how they maintain their "dead" immortality thru the sustenance of human blood.
