Anne Rice’s vampires were different from others. Their skin and hair would become magically perfect, I don’t even think Claudia had curly hair as a mortal, the “spirit” that inhabited all vampires wanted them to be goddamn beautiful. Also the male vampires had perpetual erections, but their rapturous pleasure of all the other senses made sex impossible to feel, no desire beyond also wanting beautiful things. Anne Rice was a bit weird. And I’m not even getting into the Sleeping Beauty series, I can’t really describe that without getting into CSAM.
