Arguably Anne Rice’s The Vampire Lestat is one of the finest examples of the modern gothic horror to exist from the 20th century, and to attempt to capture it in a form that does it justice could be beset with issues that might not be apparently noticeable until one finds themselves completely absorbed into the world of 1980s excess and the glut of superfluity that resonated and was heavily underscored by the literature of the time.
